    It breaks my heart to see critics denounce a movie that so effectively spoofs To Sir With Love, Dangerous Minds, The Substitute, Sister Act II, and all the other mediocre dramas about teachers taming gritty teen delinquents.

  1. Lovitz is occasionally amusing, especially in his creative attempts to get through to his pupils, although his style of slow-take humor is a grave mismatch for this kind of frenzied comedy.

    The movie makes two mistakes: (1) It isn't very funny, and (2) it makes the crucial error of taking its story seriously and angling for a happy ending.
  3. The Naked Gun writing team and actor-turned-director Hart Bochner do unto the stereotype of inner-city high schools what needs to be done to stereotyped inner-city high schools -- parody them silly -- in this high-flying, low-comedy production.
