Detention is a gem of a movie that opens with stunning shots ofbeautiful Bainbridge Island, Washington, the birthplace of Pickleball and home to a population of residents with seemingly idyllic lives. But the illusion is quickly shattered when four high student “delinquents” are assigned to serve Saturday detention for various transgressions, mostly misunderstood and ultimately, as we come to discover, largely heartbreaking. But comedy reigns when the kids discover that to pay their penance, they’re not attending typical detention. Instead, they are condemned to spend their entire Saturday in the school library with the district’s distracted psychologist, Dr. Messerschmitt, (a laugh-out-loud performance by screenwriter Emma Cameron) who is a sleep-deprived nursing mother doing her best to balance deep exhaustion, a deeper need to pump, and her task of leading these four teenagers through a day of therapy bootcamp designed to get them to truly listen to each other and ultimately shed their preconceived perceptions.

🍿🍿🍿🍿 and a 1/2(Out of 5)
Wonderful Heartfelt Coming To Terms, Coming Of Age, Youthful Fun FilmDirectors Emma Cameron and Mark Cameron (husband and wife) took a wonderfully touching script written by Emma Cameron herself and created a very clever, fun teenager film that reminded me of the best of “The Breakfast Club”, “16 Candles” and a sprinkle of “Ordinary People” and mixed together for this fresh take on High School seniors.
The kids are fantastic.
“Detention” is a fresh fun film with humor, heart and a lesson or two in friendship! Definitely check it out.Lorenzo M. @GeekAuthority #TheGeekAuthority
