The English Teacher Movie Review: | |
| The report card for low-key high school comedy The English Teacher would read something like this: Weak effort; this student is too easily distracted, fails to follow through and turns in unfinished work. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star Pleasant is the perfect word with which to describe The English Teacher, an ingratiating little comedy that aims to please and succeeds at its modest goal. Leah Rozen-The Wrap The movie doesn't do enough with its cast or its idea; it's an underachiever that simply doesn't try hard enough. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger A screwball comedy that could have been screwier, "The English Teacher" is as interesting for its cast as its content. John Anderson-Wall Street Journal Perversely determined to make you laugh. You're more likely to squirm, though ... Stephen Holden-New York Times Like so many small films carrying the Tribeca Films label, this seriocomic farce has its moments, but fails to live up to the promise of a starry cast headed by Julianne Moore. Lou Lumenick-New York Post Julianne Moore excels in this amusing comedy about a flawed heroine who loses all sense of perspective but deserves a happy ending anyway. Betty Jo Tucker-ReelTalk Movie Reviews Cutesy and cloying. Roger Moore-Movie Nation Moore shows physical-comedy chops that are both admirable and quite funny..a small but very funny treat with a cast to die for. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine A strained attempt to translate the comic punch of Alexander Payne's brilliant send-up of high-school politics, Election, into the realm of an even more tension-fraught extracurricular activity: drama club. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity Notwithstanding some very bizarre stylistic choices and sometimes erratic character transformations, The English Teacher is a frothy indie dramedy with dedicated performances and plenty of pep. Simon Brookfield-We Got This Covered This theatre-centric frolic has a clever, pleasing start, but sadly degenerates into bland formula stuff. David Noh-Film Journal International an exercise in overwrought post-modern indie hipster humor cliché Bill Gibron-Film Racket Even the sitcom stylings might not matter if the movie were funny, but in spite of the potential for Guffman-esque comedy, The English Teacher boasts few surprises ... Ben Kenigsberg-AV Club Someone, somewhere lost their nerve, pruning The English Teacher down to nondescript indie quirk with the occasional blip of enticing insanity. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com | |
