Before Superbad unseated it, the highest grossing high school comedy was Porky's. It made over 100 million in 1982 (246 million in adjust gross).

My point about the crap movies out today is that I think kids would flock to an actual thoughtful film that they could relate to (and I think a lot of adults would also check it out as well).

I know a lot of people like to say "Well look at the crap kids watch nowadays" but honestly, what else are they going to see? And it's not like they are making these current teen comedies big hits. The only films to break into the top ten grossing high school comedies (according to box office mojo) are Superbad, Mean Girls, and Bring It On.

I think Hollywood vastly underestimates the teen audience.*

* Although don't ask me to explain how High School Musical became such a huge hit.
