Stripper, eh?
When I went to my reunion, I pretended to be a heroin pusher.

#7 agger, I don’t know in the US, but here in Denmark, publishing and attempting to sell a film starring normal people in their private capacity created under false pretense would probably be illegal.

You blur out their faces.

The part where she was all alone at home hating her childhood in front of her PC, while the “stripper” actually interacted with people was also quite sad.

Sorry but the people still bitter about high school are the ones still trying to impress everyone, not this woman. I think it’s great that she can make light of her history.

For several weeks I considered showing up to my 10 year HS reunion pretending to be a homeless wino (not shower for a few weeks, not shave, wear ratty clothes, hang out in the parking lot with a cart full of cans . . . see if anybody recognized me, see how they treated me). I wimped out and didn’t even bother to go at all, so kudos to her for the chutzpah.

I like the stripper. I think I ‘ll watch the movie just for her.

This is kind of… what are the words I’m looking for? um… heartbreakingly pathetic.

This is just the trailer? Oh man.

I once dated a stripper named “Kricket.” She was very hot. That is all. I just wanted to share.

Great prank!

And Cricket is mighty yummy. Mmmmmmm

Seems like if a person really hated high school that much, they wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble, and instead just ignored their 10-year reunion. I speak with some authority on the topic. It would also seem that she’s just as much out for the attention, and to prove that she’s better than the people she claims to hate for having precisely the same motives. Double- or even triple-FAIL.

Oh, I liked this. I liked the entirety of the shoot and can’t wait to see it as a movie. And Cricket won full marks for overall yumminess.

I liked this better when it was an episode of “Taxi”…

My first response was actually to be really offended.
(what will her next “prank” be? Maybe she could “shock” people by hiring a black person to come up and talk to her in public? Maybe even a GAY black person…..OOOOOOOH that would be edgy and provocative!)

I mean, christ on a stick! What year does she think think this is? 1954?

But on second thought and seeing how mortally crippled by inhibition and low self esteem the filmmakers is, i just feel sad and uncomfortable on her behalf. She’s kinda cute, and looks like she’d clean up nice.
She really should enroll herself in one of those now ubiquitous “Learn Burlesque & self-empowerment” workshops,
and gain enough confidence so that if she gets married, she won’t feel the need to “trick” the groom by hiring a sex-surrogate to take her place on the honeymoon.

As # 5 stated, Joe Coleman did something similar. So did I after reading about it. I had a friend of mine impersonate me, and I wrote the results in my zine Killing Trees. In hindsight, I feel like maybe it was immature, but my friend had a blast drinking the free booze. And yeah, he got caught.
Buy the 1st RE:Search “Pranks” book for the Coleman thing. It’s 10x more amazing than this video.

LOL
That would beat any slasher movie on the reunion theme in horror.

That dancer has guts. The girl hiding in the hotel room comes off kind of shy and sad.

Daniel Wolowicz, 32, who had been an acquaintance of Wachner’s in high school, said he was immediately suspicious.

Anybody else notice that this guy sounds a bit old to be attending a 10-year high school reunion?

Sorry, but I, too, hated high school (who doesn’t?), and I think this was just kind of mean, cowardly, and lame. I do feel sorry for the people who went to all the trouble of getting there.

Actually, I hate all this reality prank bullshit. It’s not funny; it’s mean and only works because people are generally good-natured and accepting of others. Exploiting that to make them look foolish is cruel and sends the message that it’s uncool not to be a cynical dick.

The cynic here is this mean, sad woman.

If you don’t want to go to your reunion… don’t. I didn’t. Those people were dicks to me in high school. We’d probably get on just fine now that we’re all growed up, but the whole event is about high school, and that was a shitty time for me.

Also, my friends from high school? We’re still friends. Why do I need a reunion?

I love the work of Alen Funt.
I like a nicely shaven… leg.

Oh, family guy quoting on the internet.

Why didn't she just become a stripper instead?

I hated almost everyone in this video, especially Andrea. The stripper was the only interesting person.

This has been done before. Joe Coleman in the 70′s went to a high school reunion as a classmate that had been in a huge car wreck. Its in the Prank re/search book.

@brainspore

Reunion was Class of ’95; Wachner is 31. But your skepticism machinery is working correctly.
