Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life movie quotes bring the laughs to this film about students who revolt against the strict guidelines set by their principal. Adapted into a screenplay by Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer and Kara Holden based on the book of the same name by James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts, the family comedy was directed by Steve Carr. Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life opened in theaters on October 7, 2016.
In Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life, Rafe (Griffin Gluck) starts at a new middle school and soon finds that the worst part isn't his bully, Miller (Jacob Hopkins), but actually the strict rules in the school code of conduct, which are fiercely enforced by Principal Dwight (Andy Daly) and his sidekick Ida Stricker (Retta).
So when Rafe's notebook, which holds his drawings and is perhaps the most cherished item he owns, is confiscated and destroyed, Rafe leads a revolution. He gathers his best friend, Leo (Thomas Barbusca), and his crush Jeanne (Isavela Moner), along with other students and makes a plan to break every single rule in the book. What follows is messy, if not hilarious, and wild.
Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life movie quotes also feature lines from costars Lauren Graham and Rob Riggle. The film joins theaters along with other fall 2016 movies such as The Birth of the Nation, The Girl on the Train, American Honey, and Masterminds.
