Critic Reviews

Peter Debruge

Too raunchy for kids, too sophomoric for adults, this underachiever comedy targets the narrow demographic of disgruntled educators. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

Mostly, 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. Read full review

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.

OMG, this was hilarious, I couldn't believe I've never watched before now. The teachers were the worst, & those kids, some of them were something else entirely.

Tasteless, incredibly bad an offensive so-called comedy. The cast does a lousy job. It's predictable, badly directed and I am amazed it was ever made.

Terrible, boring, even the intended humor was obvious and stupid. I was hoping for an "Office Space" style flick but turned it off after 30 minutes. It's nothing more than a collage of juvenile humor -- possibly entertaining for 4th grade boys, but I think even they'd exhaust from Terrible, boring, even the intended humor was obvious and stupid.
