Two students seem to have political savvy, intellectual fighting. The students try to use their intellectual power and experience with the laws of circumventing the local council of the secondary school to achieve high rank among all. Their families and friends help them.
['Class Rank'] is populated with well-written, realistic characters who are dealing with complex issues while treading the awkward stage between childhood and adulthood.
The genuine heart behind the film from beginning to end earns the turn from the silly to sentimental, and elicits genuine feeling to go with all the fun.
This could have been just another generic coming-of-age, high school romcom, but it's surprisingly sweet, honest, and lovable; it feels as fresh and bracing as a brand-new John Hughes movie.
Its reliance on formula is disappointing, effectively neutering what could've been a sharper, funnier, more abyssal understanding of obstinacy challenged by personal connections.
