Alicia I love this movie so much

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

helene-62189 How is this even funny? It's painful to watch. The characters suck. They tried too hard to throw funny and outrageous punchlines throughout, but I didn't chuckle once. What a waste of time and money. Wish I could get both back. Don't waste your time watching this even if it's free.

kpjp-56058 Even though I'm not a teacher, I laughed so much I had to rewind a few times to catch the next lines. My daughter is a teacher & it reminded me of some of the stories she tells me about her experiences with crazy kids & crazy parents. This is a very funny film. I liked the different style used as well. It was kind of like a day in the life.... Really cool. Something out of the ordinary. Not the same old stuff you typically see in movies. You have to pay attention to catch everything cause there is a lot going on & you don't want to miss any of the witty comments. The writer did a great job. A very smart comedy is a wonderful thing to behold. I was very impressed with the cast as well. Top notch all the way. I know the movie has won a few awards, but in my opinion it deserves a lot more. Everyone will get something from watching this film.

slymold The Netflix rating for this movie is one out of five stars. It rates five out of five on Rotten Tomatoes, and 5.3 out of 10 here on IMDb. The fact that the reviews are all over the place almost surely reflects Americans' ambivalence about teachers and public schools (or charter schools that are publicly funded, like the one represented here). My husband and I, both longtime educators, thought that this mockumentary was the most authentic representation of our profession that we have seen. Teaching is tough. It's tough when your students do not respond to your efforts, and, yes, it is even tough when you are "Teacher of the Year."Not that this is a humorless drama...not at all. It is hilarious because it captures how completely awkward and totally out of the box each day is when you work in this type of school. The teachers in this film display the full range of creativity, grit, anger, envy, compassion and depleted ego that comes with a high-intensity, socially essential job that is often completely disrespected and poorly remunerated.

mihirviveka A great film. It is a comedy with a heart touching story. It feels absolutely real but keeps you interested for the whole length of the film.Strange it's rating is so low. You will laugh a lot and will also have things to ponder about at the end, unlike some crude comedy films with crude jokes that leave a bad taste at the end.The film's style may not seem nice at first but later we realize that it's the style best suited to this film.By the way the action is really great.
