| User ReviewMatthew JI love Shane West, I love his voice!the whole movie was kinda weird and a had a weird like low budget feel? i think or maybe it was a foreign feel i'm not sure. the 14 year old boy was very weird and i felt bad for the teacher, shane west has he cutest grin!!! |

| User ReviewKelly LBoring! Not worth keeping on my bookshelf with the rest of my movie collection any longer. |
