Is this…really what this movie is like?
I respect Adrien Brody and all, and maybe this trailer is a poor representation, but this movie seems so far along the sincerity spectrum, so totally unaware of the genre it’s working within, that it’s come out the other side, and not in a good, loony, gleaming Parks and Recreation kind of way. I admire teachers who are dedicated in the long term to troubled schools, but having absolutely no self-awareness does not seem like an admirable thing. Neither does valorizing teachers who cross the line with vulnerable female students even if they have awesomesauce pure intentions.
