Charming and brutal

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Teacher Andy won't stand up for himself. The last day of the school year involves the seniors all playing malicious stunts on staff at the same time as the school board is rolling out large-scale sackings. Andy's wife is just about to have their second child, and Andy is expecting to participate with his daughter in her elementary school talent contest 15 minutes after his interview about whether he still has a job or not. Factor into this that the pranking leads to muscular psycho teacher Strickland getting fired, blaming it on weedy Andy, and demanding satisfaction by way of a Fist Fight at the end of the day, and you are only dipping your toes into the mountain of improbability which makes up this film. Heaven knows that I don't demand believability from a movie - ghosts, monsters, spaceships and super-heroes comprise a large proportion of my filmgoing inventory - but a film which is notionally rooted in the real world should, I suggest, have a scenario which enables you, at the very least, to suspend disbelief in respect of its least likely elements. The trouble is that there is no element of this movie, other than the birth of the baby, which isn't so much unlikely as totally unbelievable. Not one. I might even be able to make allowances for that if it wasn't for the fact the film is completely unfunny. I don't think anyone in the cinema cracked a smile. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't comedies supposed to make you laugh? But nothing here is funny. Not the female teacher intent on having sex with students, not the half-*ssed plot to plant drugs on a teacher, not the fight itself, not the student determinedly masturbating in the toilets, not the F-bomb laden talent show song performed by the pre-teen daughter... every "gag" here is either misconceived or misfires or both.I'm not a fan of Charlie Day, but he is by far the best thing in this movie, and he isn't very good. Ice Cube as Strickland is horrible.Please do not go to see this film.

Yeahh, this movie is crap. Completely random plot and below the par dialogue. What, the school is pretty much firing every teacher that are shown in the entire movie except for one but they're still planning to keep the school running? There's a story of a pusharound who everyone knows is a pussy, and as a cliché of all clichés, towards the end of the movie he'll finally become a man. But in the meantime he just runs around irritating everyone (viewers the most), trying to bribe and lie his way out of a fist fight. Dude who didn't even know how to make a fist with his hand, suddenly knows how to fight and almost wins. A daughter who can't really even get a word out of her mouth during a talent show all of a sudden starts rapping with a megaconfidence throwing around profanities. It just gets boring and doesn't even deliver as a light and stupid entertainment that I guess it's meant to be. It's more irritating than fun.

Movie keeps the entertaining throughout the entire movie, constantly wondering what's going to happen next. Ice Cube definitely played a good role in the movie Recommend to any friends Good Comedy for entire family. THe back and forth between ice cube and Charlie day is suspense full and enjoyable

Highly suggest if you want a good laugh. The movie was funny and really good. It wasn't meant to be serious at all and I think that all the people crying about it are 60 year old single old farts who don't know what humour is. It's not meant to be realistic at all if it's a comedy movie for entertainment. It's not a damn documentary. Tired of all these "critics" who act as if only Oscae nominated movies that are inspiring and touch your heart can be considered good. This was a great watch.
