| VarietyPeter DebrugeToo raunchy for kids, too sophomoric for adults, this underachiever comedy targets the narrow demographic of disgruntled educators. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonMostly, Lafferty is all about expletives and sexual innuendo of the frankest kind, some of it so raunchy (and unfunny) as to make one wonder if the parents of the film's many child actors bothered to read the script. |
| User ReviewJenn T:fresh: Absolutely fantastic comedy. Rob Corddry is absolutely hilarious in his roll as Principal Billings of Gereldine Ferrarro elementary school. It is off the wall, great comedy including a love-triangle between three eight-year-olds, boxing in PE class, and kids at another elementary school with heroin problems. Definitely one of the funnier movies of the year. If you aren't in Los Angeles or New York, get it when it comes out on DVD. You won't regret it. |
| User ReviewJason PI am absolutely stunned at how funny this movie is. The humor is very subtle and requires a 3 digit IQ to appreciate ;) |
| User ReviewTommy PFound it to be funny, wouldnt be everyone's cup of tea but Rob Corddry, Monica Potter & Will Sasso were off there tittys in this which made the film for me. Mixed review... you have to see it ! |
| User ReviewJohnF.I saw this movie opening night and I have to say I didn't know what to expect. It was funny, crass, and highly entertaining. |
| User ReviewLoganH.Know what happens to the bad kids?.....They get detention....lol love it. |
| User ReviewD MAnother great comedy. I was afraid they stopped making comedies along my sense of humor after so many disappointments this year. But, this, along with Role Models (which would make for a good double-billing) shows that they are still going strong. Another one with a bunch of people I like (Rob Corddry, Ed Helms, Matt Walsh, etc). Its about a failing grade school which is about to be shut down because of low test scores. The principal realizes this and tries to get as much money out of the school, students, parents, etc before he jumps the sinking ship. |
