Quickly starting to love Ryan Reynolds. Great movie, great message and reminded me of a couple of teachers I had. Don't we wish they all were like that!

quite yummy all round. good casting.

It had all the trappings of a made-for-TV movie - the family-friendly plot, the overwhelming use of movie cliches and all that, but in the end it wasn't that bad.

Sure, Reynolds plays the classic "cool" teacher who changes the school culture because of his creative and unconventional methods and more traditional stick-in-the-mud teachers like Paymer's character try to resist the changes.

But then the way the story was told in terms of occasional narration from the son of the old school teacher (pardon the pun) and all the costumes they stick Reynolds in held flesh out the story and give it its unique spin.

On the whole it was a surprisingly good movie and a nice way to spend a random Sunday afternoon at home.

Great little movie with Ryan Reynolds that has a great moral to the story
