| User ReviewDenise Man off the beaten path comedy about crappy jobs, real life family dramas, friendships and love. an enjoyable movie for a Sunday evening. |
| User ReviewFilmGrinder S82% "I thought when I got this age, things would be easier, but everything gets more absurd."-William Thurber (Bob Gunton) What, TENURE should be a raunch comedy? It's not about OLD SCHOOL frat parties. "The food at Yale is positivly exquiste, Beth."-Warren (Andrew Daly) Oh yeah, the business about bigfoot was awesome. |
| User ReviewBrendan KThis movie has a nice pace to it, and its consistently funny. I wasn't expecting anything, but I enjoyed it. |
| User ReviewHarrison RI really enjoyed this very real exploration of what it's like to teach and not sell out. The solution is very plausible, too. David Koechner didn't stink it up too bad, either. |
| User ReviewJesus HThis is one of the few movies I think are under-rated. Wilson did a good job. It is a feel good movie and teaches to do what we are passionate about, not what is expected from us. |
| User ReviewSandy JPretty funny movie. I wish the ending answered a few more questions. |
| User ReviewBrendan Nquite quirky and funny, luke wilson is a talent not recognised by confident directors. |
| User ReviewGuido MIt's a simple, lightly spicy and touching movie with some witty jokes and funny situations, and the presence of the "teacher-students" relation, everybody can be relate to. |
| User ReviewRuth RBit offbeat. We enjoyed it a lot. Maybe I just like Luke Wilson. Or bigfoot. |
| User ReviewBecky FThe trials of English professor, Luke Wilson and his friend, an anthropology professor in search of Big Foot, trying to make tenure. I thought it was hilarious. Though, I am running a low grade fever. Available on Netflix instant. |
