well acted and smart idea with a good poster and trailer. however the plot lacks meaning and is at times quite boring. it is enjoyable and very funny at times.

While the idea of progressive education is one that I'd like to see more of, it doesn't come from a movie this preposterous and oddly preachy when it gets to be serious.
