GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Krys78 This movie was special and not because Ryan Reynolds was in it (and believe me I have mad love for RR) but because it hit me in a way that very few movies have had the success of doing. I am not an emotional type but I absolutely broke down after the credits rolled. I don't know what caused it but I was enthralled into the movie the entire hour and 50 minutes. The greatest gift an actor can hear is that the audience believed the character and that somehow they made an impact in your life. Ryan did just that. He has vastly become one of my all time favorite actors. I absolutely can not get enough of this wonderful, gorgeous man. I loved the storyline, the mystery about Mr D and how he approached his teaching. It was great to see Mr. Warner change his tune when he found out that Mr. D had lung cancer. What I liked about the mystery is that it wasn't just thrown at us. Little hints here and there were through out the film. It was only when Mr. D reacted after seeing Mr. Warners class learning about the lung and its functions that we knew something was wrong. Ryan's reaction was dead on for that scene. I loved the kid and his utmost respect for Mr. D's tactics. I wish most teachers taught like that. I definitely recommend this film to anyone who wants to see inspiration, endearment and funny mixed in one.

Igor Korzh A understood something about me in this film.I cried a lot!!!It is really nice movie.I hope I'll make more less than 1000 mistakes)))Who will be interested,I am here http://love.bigmir.net/show/1591614/ Mr.D is the best!This actor is very very talented ,I have no words...I can't describe all my emotions.A+++ I need 10 lines )))Very pretty girls)))Also I was impressed by so sad end of film...I wasn't waiting for it.Everyone must see this movie,because may be It will give hope to some people.In my country this film wasn't popular,till i gave it to me friends.So I I am Proud of myself,oh,how it is difficult to write about this movie,because it is perfect...

disdressed12 this isn't too bad a movie.yes it can get preachy but it never really crosses the line into sap and drivel.it's mostly a family friendly movie with few minor swears.at first it feels quite light and fluffy,but if you stick with it,there are some deeper things going on here.David Paymer and Ryan Reynolds are the two bigger names in this movie,but it is Kate Vernon who really impressed me.as a matter of fact,i didn't recognize her while watching the movie.i only saw her name as the end credits rolled. before this had only seen her in very dark movies dealing with violent crimes.anyway,i did like this movie.it has a message,but it doesn't beat you over the head too much with it.also the movie is really touching at times,but in a good way.the acting is also good.i give "School of Life" 7/10

eddievh1 If you are a teacher you must watch this film. It is an excellent portrait of what a school teacher needs to have to be an effective teacher. As Mr. D shows, the most important part of education is connecting with your students, that way they are involved will lessons. They want to come to class, they want to participate, and they enjoy learning. If there are any other teachers out there that have seen this movie and would like to comment, I would love to hear from you. I am a Middle School Art teacher and have the same addictive art program as Mr. D shows. If you are one of the burnt out teachers that don't enjoy teaching anymore, please watch this movie. It might making teaching fun again for you!!!
