Picture this: it’s the summer after eighth grade. You’re at a soccer tournament in another city. Your team isn’t particularly good. You lose your games. You are unbothered because you have convinced your dad to drive you and one of your teammates to the Cineplex so you can…
AshtonApr 4, 2026What an absolutely ridiculous movie. 😂 Ok, I didn't hate it. It was actually a little charming. Also, stupid. Very, very stupid. I had always heard about this movie, but tonight was my first time actually watching it. I don't think I would have liked it any more if…

“I feel like I'm in a cage! And I feel like Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas! Starring my good friend, Elisabeth Shue!“ Why are delusional drama teachers with a god complex such a universally understood phenomenon.
Liam FitzgibbonFeb 19, 2019A masterpiece. Shakespeare could NEVER. I’ve had Rock Me Sexy Jesus stuck in my head for the last ten years.

Coogan's mopiness is oddly riveting.

Amusing but unevenly inspired tale of a deluded high school drama teacher's attempt to stage a career-saving extravaganza has some laughs, to be sure.
