Far from groundbreaking, but a bit of fun

A spunky film that celebrates a school teacher's enthusiasm and its positive effect on students.

Super Reviewer

This film has its heart in the right place but is just another mediocre teen-misfits-make-good movie. A real-life story of determination and courage turned into formulaic mush.
