COMMUNITY REVIEWS
feel good movie submitted by 21621031390949 on July 12, 2012, 11:32am This is a pretty good feel-good movie about a high school teacher who inspires poor, disenfranchised youth. More realistic than "To Sir With Love" but same theme.
teacher overcomes adversities of inner-city school submitted by shumoon on July 2, 2014, 9:44am Perhaps the best movie in the "teacher-in-the-'hood" genre. "Lean On Me" is another good example of this archetype.
