Very disappointed :(
... View MoreGood concept, poorly executed.
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MoreThis film tells the story of a very protective mother who home schools her son. Her son decides to meet friends by going to a public school.Though the film is fun and light hearted, the idea of having such a protective and controlling mother really disturbs me. Judy Greer does a good job as the mother, and Daniel Doheny is great as a shy young man. Overall, if the mother is less freakishly and disturbingly controlling, I would have liked it more.
... View MoreComing of age high school movies are a well worn staple of the movie industry. Some are great (The Breakfast Club), others are not so much (Ladybird - great acting, but little new or fresh). This film is funny, different, fresh, and interesting. The home schooled kid and his relationship with his mom are unlike anything else. The cliches of such movies are avoided, and in their place is just a pretty neat story. It won't win any Academy Awards, but is a great show to watch. Enjoy.
... View MoreA socially awkward home-schooled kid forces his way into public-school against his suffocating but loving mother's wishes. Public Schooled is bugged down from it's socially awkward leading kid but also it's not so well written and well directed script. The characters had zero chemistry together, the acting was painful to sit threw and the comedic parts failed to capture the magic that was needed. Films like 'School of Rock' or even a more dramatic film like 'Speak' captured better the magic of High School or School in general unlike this movie did. Plus except Judy Greer's perfomance the rest of the cast was just there and nothing more to it. Overall a big waste of time!!! (3/10)
... View MoreThis is a story of the relationships between Liam, a teen genius, Claire, his smothering mother / homeschool teacher / best friend infinity, and Anastasia, the girl of his desire. While at a high school to write his high school equivalency exams, he spies Anastasia, and deliberately fails in order to force his mother to let him attend public school.Raised in a social bubble, Liam has trouble navigating school and taking advantage of opportunities with Anastasia. Meanwhile, Claire tries to keep Liam from drifting away by teaching him how to be a rebellious teen.The characters are well-written, if somewhat over-the-top. One oddity is that the director uses a 1990s vibe, even if the teens busily text each other, while friendless Liam has not attempted to find online friends either.
