This is the movie that the shitty math teachers of my generation showed their students so they wouldn’t have to teach them math.
PubeMay 18, 2013This is one of those "based on a true story" inspirational teacher movies. about an inner city high school math teacher. Now, I have been teaching high school math in the inner city for 9 years, so I watched this movie carefully to see how realistic it was. It turns out…

monicaFeb 6, 2023Ok, but I can’t be the only one who thinks Olmos looks like Jerry Lewis, am I? This film in many way adheres to the standard format for its genre, though there weren't nearly as many of them made at this point as there would be later, giving it a leg up on the…

every math teacher has made us watch this.
Elio lovedStand and DeliverJames Edward Olmos did an awesome job at playing Jaime Escalante . The movie does an amazing job at showing what many young people go through on a daily basis, showing how we are stereotyped and looked down on at many times. Trusty an amazing and inspiring film.
Hayden lovedStand and DeliverHaven’t watched this movie since high school when I didn’t really pay attention to it. This movie is inspirational as hell and the acting really conveys that. A must watch if you are Hispanic.

a charming and heartfelt film that challenges several notions on both the teaching of mathematics as well as how troubled students truly view school, great acting and writing throughout
Alexis Vega lovedStand and DeliverI love this movie and has an amazing lesson to be taught on how stereotypes need to stop. As well as showing the range from actors like Edward James Olmos & Lou Diamond Phillips!!❤️👌🏼
joana lovedStand and Deliveri love this movie for all the right reasons and every time my mom sees it she reminds me that I can be good at math if I only tried

Even thought it’s a movie about math that I was forced to watch in class, it was actually so good and def would recommend
Orlando Ramone likedStand and DeliverThis movie takes place and was filmed at my old high school in East L. A. It’s a little sappy but still worth a watch.

Metacritic
There were moments in Stand and Deliver that moved me very deeply and other moments so artificial and contrived that I wanted to edit them out, right then and there. The result is a film that makes a brave, bold statement about an unexpected subject, but that lacks the full emotional power it really should have.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Mr. Olmos seems to be living and breathing this role rather than merely playing it, and his enthusiasm really catches on.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
Stand and Deliver is inspirational, but never sentimental. It resists all too many temptations. It cries out for schmaltz. But this is a drama as honest as its hero, a work that comes from the heart -- the heart of a computer programmer.
