i rather enjoy this movie and but think about it afterwards i think it be a rather disjoint and hollow movie . woodcock be a teacher and whose teach style border on child abuse you see him pick on the small kid and the fat kid and other less than athletic kid . which be fine by me and child abuse be a good subject for a serious movie . bullshit author and victim return home and learns thing about him self and make teacher see the error of his way sound like a good serious movie . turn the child abuse into tough but fair teaching and throw in a few gross out larf scene and it would have make a good revenge comedy . but this movie try to be both a comedy and a serious movie and and fails in both guise it fail to be a comedy because the subject be way to serious and and it fail to be a serious movie because woodcock be exonerate at the end of the movie .
