Teacher of the Year (2015)

How is this even funny? It's painful to watch. The characters suck. They tried too hard to throw funny and outrageous punchlines throughout, but I didn't chuckle once. What a waste of time and money. Wish I could get both back. Don't waste your time watching this even if it's free.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this movie, but I actually liked it a lot. One of the better "Mockumentary" style films I have seen, and possibly one of my favorites.Basically Keegan Micheal Key is hilarious as Principal Douche, and the other supporting comedic actors keep it funny, but at the heart of it is a very good story with some depth too which made me want to find out what would happen next. As a "Mockumentary" though it is not a typical style comedy with typical style jokes every minute. It has some serious moments, but plenty of funny stuff too. Making it one of the better Mockumentaries in many years in my opinion.Do not expect a typical film and let it take you where it will go, very funny and really well done.

Watched this movie at the Icon Theater on Roosevelt. I really liked it. I felt like the film had a few technical issues and focusing on a scene for too long. Which a better editor of a reality based show might have done better at. I really liked all the actors especially The science teacher Karl T. Wright Very funny. I would recommend this movie to all teachers. While it might not sum up a lot of the issues that teachers have to deal with. I do believe it is a lot more realistic then most teacher movies. There is a good story line about how separate the Administration and Teaching staff in schools are that I know is the case. In most adaptations of schools in film and television they are commonly portrayed as all working together. This cannot be further then the truth. The administrations of most schools will willingly throw a teacher under a very fast moving school bus to avoid bad PR. While this film is not exactly about that issue alone it was one of my more favorite parts. I do however absolutely hate this poster that is attached to the IMDb site. I think its really terrible and makes it look like it is a freaking Police Academy spoof film. When that cannot be further from the truth. BAD DIRECTION ON THE VISUAL HERE GUYS!!!!!In conclusion, ignore the poster and watch the movie. Yours truly Andrew Day

Saw this film at Newport Beach Film Fest - Hilarious!!! This film about teachers is so funny but it also has a heart. Keegan-Michael Key and the Sklar Brothers are all unbelievably funny. Larry Joe Campbell, Jamie Kaler, Lahna Turner, Karl T. Wright and a bunch of other great actors all give hilarious performances. The core of the film follows Mitch Carter, who has just won California Teacher of the Year and now may have a new job that pays more money but he won't teach any longer. As Mitch, Matt Letscher really shines. He's the emotional core of a film that is wildly absurd at times but he makes it all seem real. Sunny Mabrey as his wife and newcomer Caitlin Carmichael are also wonderful as Mitch's wife and daughter. There are great performances throughout and the it's gotta be one of the funniest indie comedies I've seen in years. Check it out!!!
