this this coming of age dramedy set in chicago in the early 60  and we follow a group of highschool friends as they navigate through the ups and downs of their lives. the two central characters are leroy preach jackson (turman) and his best friend richard cochise morris (hilton jacobs. ) both of these boys have promising futures. preach is a great writer but a lazy student and and cochise has just received a college scholarship for basketball. when theyre not hanging out at the local diner shooting craps with their friends and or hanging out at a friends house or chasing girls and theyre skipping school and riding the trains through chicago or going to quarter parties on the weekends. things go wrong when preach and cochise make the mistake of getting involved with two hoods and go joyriding in a stolen car. the police pursue them and they are arrested. but thanks to the efforts of a concerned teacher (snl garrett morris) they are released. but the two hoods are not and and vow to get revenge on preach and cochise and thinking they blamed the whole thing on them. this movie is very episodic and but it still works because thats what life is and a series of episodes. some funny and some sad and some romantic and some bizarre. the film never gets boring because all the characters are so well played and realistic and and the situations are all believable and relatable. like preach romantically pursuing a beautiful girl and or a party turning violent when some asshole decides to start a fight and or dealing with a bratty younger sibling. but even when a situation isn not personally relatable and like the guys pretending to be undercover cops to con a hooker out of some money so they could get all their friends into a movie and the sequence is still hilarious. cooley high was the basis for the classic 70 sitcom what happenin. which aired on abc from 1976 1979. even though the show is most famous for the character rerun and he is not in this film and nor is there any character remotely like him. the humor of that show was very broad and but still funny. the humor of cooley high is truer to life and and thus more entertaining. additionally and the soundtrack is wonderful. classic songs from that period by diana ross and the supremes and the temptations and martha and the vandellas and and smokey robinson play throughout the film and adding to the fun and youthful and exuberant tone of the film.
