[They're] doing the whole Dangerous Minds thing that's admittedly hard to resist--and naturally, based on a heartwarming true story--even if it's nothing particularly new. [22/29 Apr 2011, p.92]
Stacey represents one of those too-good-to-be-true movie teachers, but VanCamp possesses such innate likability that she can make that sense of commitment believable. Nor does it hurt that the producers did an impeccable job casting the various students, including Liam McKanna and Paola Andino as two of Stacey's more significant pupils.
The movie holds the interest, despite a tendency to sentimentalize.
The story is as predictable as the sunrise, but somehow, instead of distracting from the film's enjoyment, that adds to it. As the world spins faster and more coarsely every day, it's a quiet pleasure to watch an old-fashioned production in which virtue, charity, and hard work are rewarded.
It's so heartwarming it would make a penguin take off his tuxedo in the middle of an Antarctic winter.
