Movie #144 "School of Life" is a good one, esp. for families (it mostly takes place in a high school, concerning freshmen, and teachers) It was like old homeweek for me -- I knew these kids; I knew these teachers; I knew these situations. And yes, it's a bit cheesy and far fetched at times (made for t.v. movie), but mostly it was funny and winning. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this movie to kids and families------great family values about life and death, about what effect good teachers have on kids and other teachers. I liked it a lot. P.S. I really was convinced to watch it because I saw that Ryan Reynolds was in it --- and if you are a fan of his, this is a must-see.
Average rating: 3.669
I would have rated it 3.6 (but netflix only lets me do 3 or 4)
School of Life
(2005) PG
Stodgy educator Matt Warner (David Paymer) -- who's determined to carry on his late father's legacy of winning the Teacher of the Year award -- suddenly finds himself competing with charismatic new history teacher Michael D'Angelo (Ryan Reynolds) in this made-for-TV family tale. In an effort to smear the affectionately dubbed "Mr. D," Matt tails him and makes a shocking discovery that leads to an uncomfortable self-assessment and an about face.
