School Of Life

You know? At this point I don't know where I'd be without Netflix lol. I applaud the people behind the idea. Ryan Reynolds once again delivers a great role in this film about a middle school and the student-elected "Teacher Of The Year" award. For the past 43 years, this award has been given to "Stormin' Norman Warner" played by John Astin. After the passing of his father, Matt Warner(David Paymer), who is also teaching at this school, bears the heavy burden of living up to the Warner name(and this is not easy). Enter Michael D'Angelo(Ryan Reynolds) A.K.A. "Mr.D"...who has come to Fallbrook Middle School as Stormin' Norman's replacement in the History department. The competition heats up for Matt as everyone just loves the new teacher in town. Having never heard of this movie before, I was once again drawn to it when I saw Ryan Reynolds on the cover lol.

Let it be known that this cover sucks and is not the one that Netflix lists. I just couldn't find a decently sized scan of the cover to add my seal of approval to. Anyway, this TV film is a winner in my book. Oh and this is the cover that I liked and is displayed on Netflix for all to see.

NOTE: I would have posted the trailer but after having watched it, I noticed there's a spoiler in there that should have been removed.
