This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
View MoreThis is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
View MoreEverything the other review stated about this show is pretty much dead on. This show is full of groaning one-liners and very base humor. It is geared toward those with a teenage male mentality. Hey, it's a series about high school, what do you expect? No highbrow, sophisticated humor here.That being said...this show rocks! Every episode always seems to start out a little slow with jokes that only bring a slight grin or two. About 1/2 way through, it picks up steam, and I am usually cracking up by the end.My wife watches it with me, and finds it amusing but not nearly as funny as I do. I, of course, also thought that the movie "Benchwarmers" was hilarious. So, let that be your guide.
View MoreTeachers Drinking, trying to have sex, being disinterested in their job sometimes? How refreshingly true.My wife is a teacher, and we both absolutely love to watch this show. It goes to extremes for comic elements, but there are times where teachers just need a drink after dealing with the kids, and times where teaching is just not the first thing on your mind. There are a lot of one liners that can be distracting, but the character play between the cast is superb. (I still am waiting for Justin Bartha's Character to have a daydream with the 2 hot teachers with Van Halen playing in the background.) This is one of the 3 shows on our weekly tivo list that we can actually watch together and agree on (How I Met Your Mother and Smallville being the others.
View MoreThe previous reviewer may or may not have had a bad day, but that didn't matter. They were right in saying how terrible this show is. It is completely unoriginal and corny - but not the kind of corny that you laugh at. It's sad. The characters have terrible lines and the canned laughter is a bit much. On the other hand, the canned laughter seems to know when things really aren't that funny--because the laughter is weak. The only reason I saw the pilot was because they happened to show it on a Thursday night during "The Office" time slot. I set a timer to record the office, and instead I find this poor excuse for a show. I don't see this show getting better. I watched the second episode just to see if things would be better. Of course, I was even more disappointed. I would have to say that this is the worst comedy I have ever seen--if you can call it a comedy. I don't care if it cancels or not. I just hope that they never postpone "The Office" to show "Teachers" in it's place again.
View MoreI just watched the pilot, and let me tell you, I never intend to watch this show again. Are TV viewers in general so stupid that they have to be told when to laugh? I swear, if I never hear another laugh track in any TV show, it'll be too soon. Of course, which is not to say I ever laughed anyway. In the pilot we had sexist jokes, racist jokes, and just generally dumb jokes. I miss the days when sitcoms weren't afraid to be smart instead of just giving us one-liner after one-liner after one-liner. Judging this show based on only a half-hour of viewing may be too harsh, but I don't care. Insipid dialogue, completely unlikable (and unbelievable) characters, and nothing resembling any real high school that I've been to make for one sad, sad effort. The one thing I will say in favor of this show is that Ms. Torres is a fox. But that alone is not nearly enough to save what should never have been given life in the first place. Someone on the message board posted the topic "Boston Public for idiots?" and I have to say I disagree. It's just TV for idiots.
