The series was pretty fun, but that doesn't mean it always translates well into a feature-length film. The main accomplishment of Rebels @ School is that it keeps the charm of the series intact, while not coming off as an extended TV episode. In that sense, this is a very easy recommendation for fans of the series.

After Anton dies, the school is in disarray. Ank has taken over his duties, but she still has to teach classes, and COVID-19 has all the parents on edge. The call for modernization grows stronger and when a new manager takes over, the old teacher will have no choice but to follow suit.

Most of the familiar characters make a return, the themes are actually somewhat interesting (the fearmongering that seems to have taken over Western society is heavily critiqued) and the cringe comedy is still present. The drama felt a little off and the film could've been a little snappier, but other than that very amusing.
