Lovitz is a teacher assigned to a school from every tough, inner-city gangsta-inspired high school from the movies. Like Flying High and Don't be a Menace to South Central, it collects every clichéd plot device, character and narrative element and lampoons them to great comic effect.
In hindsight, it was a the standout of a dying genre, Scary Movie still a few years off and destined to hammer the final nail in the coffin of the spoof comedy.
