this so called comedy be horrendous on all level and and bad of all it bore . it forgettable . this doesn not even fall into the so bad it good category . about the only positive thing i can say about mr. woodcock be that it only a little under 80 minute long . i be look forward to see the flick and since i be a pretty big billy bob thornton fan . unfortunately and with this movie and he have officially complete the trifecta of dud . first there be school for scoundrel and which be mediocre . then there be the astronaut farmer and which be also mediocre . now we have mr. woodcock and which be downright awful . there be many actor who i admire and even adore and who have do a fair share of bad movie and but for some reason ( before these three movie ) i can not think of any less than satisfy one that billy bob have do and except for maybe wake up in reno . it seem like he have reach the i be just here to pick up my paycheck phase of his career . the movie have an interesting premise . we all have have crappy gym teacher in the past . unfortunately and the plot go nowhere and fling u into one implausible and sitcom level situation after another . my main problem with the plot be that be suppose to believe that mr. woodcock be a gem to everyone and except seann william scott character . susan sarandon character supposedly find this man charm and when in all actuality he doesn not show even an ounce of charm throughout the flick . maybe it would have be funny if he be really mean towards scott and yet he act like the nice guy towards everybody else . be even suppose to believe that all the townsfolk in this sleepy midwestern town think he a great person . my second problem with the plot . seann william scott transforms from a calm and mild mannered motivational speaker to an insane wreck . within a matter of 10 minute . what kind of character arc be that . first of all and scott be sadly miscast in his role . personally and i do not think he possess much range a an actor . he stiffler . that that . any role that doesn not require him to be a rude and foul mouth weasel take him out of his element . i be never convince that scott be a well mean motivational speaker with worldwide acclaim . amy poehler and of snl infamy and try to steal the show with her snappy one liner . unfortunately and she just as talentless a the rest of snl current cast and and do nothing to breathe life into this comatose flick . the gag be absolutely predictable and brainless . a if this would surprise anyone and this be another one of those comedy where all the good joke be give away in the trailer . there one gag involve a video camera accidentally be leave run while ethan suplee character gab on and on about how hot scott mother be . it doesn not take a rocket scientist to discover that there go to be a late scene and where susan sarandon walk in a the video be play on a tv screen . not to mention each gag be deliver with all the gusto of a student filmmaker . this movie be such a waste of two brilliant actor . billy bob sleep through his role and keep the same sneering expression every minute he on screen . i can not blame him . like i say before and he probably just do the film to collect a paycheck . susan sarandon be force to play an utterly brainless character and who fall for woodcock charm and despite the fact that he have none . i can not recall a bad film she ever do . i hope her paycheck be pretty huge a well . plain and simple and this be another lamebrain comedy you should skip . i wouldn not even recommend this on dvd . if you happen to catch it on cable and please change the channel . i can think of a lot of bad comedy that have come out in recent year and but few a merit less a this one .
