Degrassi is still keeping it real.
What distinguished the Degrassi series through all its various incarnations was the fact that it dealt with the problems of growing up in a honest and straightforward manner, School's Out is no exception.Although it might be comforting to people who have followed the series from the beginning to think that these young people live happily ever after, that wouldn't be true to intent of the original series or, true to life. This drama shows actions and there consequences as these young people accept(or choose not to accept) the responsibilities of adulthood.The result is a complex, disturbing,yet ultimately hopeful final(?) chapter to the wonderful Degrassi saga.
Fantastic ending to the series
Every fan of the original show MUST see this. Your Degrassi experience is not complete without it.
Dark? Yes. But for a show showing a realistic take on pre-teens and teens and growing up this is a great way to end the original series. Some happy endings and some jaw-dropping tragic moments. Pretty much everyone who was on the show the last few years is in this at some point. It doesn't go the pat happy ending that most shows would have pulled. They let some characters really screw-up. I loved that it went this far.
It's worth it for that classic Caitlin line to Joey at the climax. Fantastic, envelop pushing material.

A brief overview of a realistic teenage film.
Degrassi School's Out is the wonderful climactic end to the Degrassi series, which was centered around a bunch of regular teenagers going to Degrassi
High School. School's Out is chock-full of drama and heartache, not to mention sex and alcohol. It's actually a really realistic representation of most teens' summers right after graduating from high school. It's also refreshingly natural, everyone looks the age they are supposed to be, and every female isn't some
beauty queen poster girl for breast implants. It's actually altogether quite a poignant film, particularly if you've seen the show that preceded it. It makes you really want to know what happens after it ends. Great movie.

Once again, it tackles all the tough issues!
When the original Degrassi series were airing they were known to tackle teen issues that no one else dared. They didn't just talk about drug abuse they had people suffer the consequences. In "School's Out" the gang from Degrassi once again go through some tough times.
Representing the end of the Degrassi shows, this one does clue up on a nice note (someone gets married), however, everything isn't "fairy tale-like" for everyone. If you want realism, you'll love this movie. If you want something that's feel good don't bother.

It's nice to get closure ...
This was a great end to a series that really helped me through my teen years. It was nice to get closure as when the show ended it was before any of them had graduated and never felt "finished".
The movie covers that next step after high school and before college. That summer after finishing high school is a massive one for most teenagers. Life changing decisions are made, and the characters go through some of the common ones.
There is a definite "step up" in the things the characters get up to as well. Casual alcohol and drug use and even casual sex. For the first time we're not getting lessons behind every decision either it's just naturally evolving.
The movie is still corny and predictable as was the series and it isn't all without its lessons. Still, that is what we love about the show and this movie is a definite must watch for fans!

Did you know
- TriviaStefan Brogren (Archibald 'Snake' Simpson) was the first person to use the word "fuck" on Canadian television.
- GoofsDuring the cottage sequence, Alexa angrily yells at Simon that she "can't believe you just said that!" Despite him not saying anything, and the scene not being cut, with Simon simply playing volleyball with Tim, saying nothing, and the scene not being cut into, but rather fluid, indicating an edit of some kind, but one that was incongruent.

Caitlin Ryan: Tessa Campanelli? You were fucking Tessa Campanelli?
- Alternate versionsWhen "School's Out" premiered in the United States in 1993 on PBS, lots of footage was left out. These scenes include:
- Joey and Tessa going into more detail about the movie they saw on their first date.
- Snake falling into the pool on his first day as a lifeguard.
- Snake being followed around the pool by little girls who develop crushes on him.
- Tessa showing up late for work the day after her date with Joey, then going into detail with Spike on how Joey will be her's before school starts.
- Snake confronting Joey about two-timing Caitlin with Tessa, and saying that Joey has spent his summer "f**king Tessa". (In the U.S. version, "seeing Tessa" was dubbed over the above mentioned words).
- When Caitlin overhears the conversation, she asks Joey, "You were f**king Tessa Campanelli?"
- Snake rescues a drowning girl at Bronco's party, then has a breakdown because of his lousy summer.
