Reviews for Teachers
A spunky, outrageous comedy which aims to entertain and at the same time shed some light on what really matters in education.
Someone had another Hospital in mind, and they even hired Arthur Hiller to direct it, but the attempt to merge black humor and strident social commentary seems even more uncertain this time.
