This Student Wrote A One-Sentence Review Of Fight Club And Got An A
College assignments often test our creativity. However, some students take it a little too far and even risk to fail a course. Luckily, there still are some professors who recognize and encourage their student’s sense of humor and allow a little bit of fun. Allison Garret recently proved to be one of the lucky ones. She shared her assignment on twitter and it quickly went viral for all the right reasons.
For one of her college classes, Allison was assigned to write a movie review
Alisson was assigned to write a movie review, it was required for the essay to be at least 500 words long, however, she only wrote one sentence. However, everyone who has seen Fight Club, the movie she chose to review, knows that you probably cannot review it better than this.
She chose to review Fight Club and decided to ignore all of the rules that apply to the assignment

Her review reads:
“Fight Club
‘The first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club.’
That’s it. That’s the essay”
After giving it some though Alisson’s professor decided to give her 100/100 points for the essay. You have to admit, her approach to the assignment was quite witty and unconventional, but very suiting for the film she reviewed.
Luckily her college professor has a great sense of humor and decided to give her an A

Allison’s post quickly went viral with over 153k likes and over 29k retweets

Alison was quite stunned for going viral so quick, so she decided to use her new found ‘fame’ for a good cause. Her friends’ mom is fighting a rare form of cancer so she decided to urge people to help her out. Click the link if you want to offer support.

Kinda cute, yes. Smart, not especially. The problem with this "report" is that there's absolutely no indication that the person either read the book or watched the movie. Everybody knows this line, since it was in all the trailers.
Load More Replies... So very predictable. Every movie/media teacher has probably had a student doing this.
No doubt. I mean, have we wholly lost the meaning of the word "genius"? This isn't genius. It's clever. Know the difference.

Wouldn't be fair to people who put in a 10 page paper while a smart remark gets a A+...
You know, my teacher in college always dismissed complaints of students who'd say "but I worked all week on this painting! I never slept!" He'd point out that value of the creation and time spent on making the creation do not always correlate.

I'm gonna guess it was an optional/extra credit essay (like if it increases your average it counts otherwise it doesn't) because if she passed the class with an A she must have had great grades already and probably didn't need the bonus. If it was a regular essay, I don't know what kind of potentially self-sabotaging move that was to pull.
Clever answer, but not a review at all, so the mark should be a F. If the assignment was "describe a movie you have seen", it should get an A for sure.
I knew it as soon as i saw the title, not very original really.
That's why I always give an expected number of words. Writing a sentence is a great joke, but not an essay and shouldn't have earned 100 points.
If you are clever enough to write something that's outside the box, your professors will always give you an "A." My Biology prof required that we write a paper that, knowing what we learned about atoms, explain to medieval alchemists why their theories of changing lead into gold won't work. I used a castle analogy with the enemy being the electrons surrounding the castle, unable to get in. Protons were the family that owned the castle and they didn't trust anyone..so they didn't take on new members and no one was allowed to leave. The Neutrons were missionaries that gave "weight" to the families appearance (made them bigger than they actually were.) I went on to explain how the number of members dictated the family name and that they wouldn't change those numbers because then the family crest would change and they'd have to get their monogram hankies changed. The paper was way more detailed...but the main point was...I got an A....
Sounds like an urban legend to me, such as the student who wrote an essay about whether Hell is exothermic or endothermic.
Fight Club is a film that can have pages and pages of review. The film is exquisitely crafted in the fact that the theme is deeply embedded in every aspect of the film, including the edit. I could go on but i guess i'm not supposed to talk about it.
Everyone has done that about Fight Club, mate you don’t deserve the grade period
I say to her: "Very well played young lady!". I would have given her an 'A' too.
I knew this was going to be it as soon as I read "Fight Club". You know what's more amazing than this b******t? The fact BP managed to make a whole post out of it
IKR? They're like college kids who need a 1000 word essay and so they just add a ton of extra words.

Sometimes, assignments are given to see who, and how well they can think out of the box! Not all of dictation is done in a classroom, and. A great teacher knows this. You have to make it relevant to their lives, and all kids and people learn differently. It’s like this... she came, she saw, she evaluated, thought outside the box, and disdain her thing. I would’ve given her an A also.
Not funny. Not admirable. Typical millennial do-nothingness. "Let's do nothing and see if we get away with it. If we do, we'll be f*****g rock stars!" Our future hangs in the balance.
Dude, she’s not a millennial. Millennials are in their 30s.
