    A dark, biting comedy-- funny, smart and full of unpredictable twist and turns.
  2. 70
    Flecked with delicious malice, and the kids, especially newcomer Coughlin, performs with verve and high energy.
  3. 50
    Wholly predictable and implausible plotting, thin characterizations, and stilted dialogue.
  4. 38
    There is nothing funny about the situation in Teaching Mrs. Tingle.
