Too cheesy for me

This film brought a new perspective on the way that high school education and it's system is viewed. The teacher ventures into a community that has given up on their youth, and realizes the harsh lives that each of the students face. She then understands the reality of the gang violence and is willing to do anything to ensure that the students have hope for a future by instilling knowledge in them and giving them a safe place to express themselves. Based on a true story, this film inspires hope.

This is too dumb for words.

muito bom!! vi esses meses atrás com a minha măe... uma chorando em cada lado da sala nos sofás.....

Muy Buena

I think most people will find it not very different from films like Stand and Deliver and Mr. Holland's Opus. Swank turns what is otherwise a formulaic (though true-to-life) story into something believable. However, I'm saying this because I'm a teacher. There are things she does here that convinced me and the two teachers I saw this with that she really understands what teachers go through. In this respect, it is slightly better than typical, the first teacher film I can say this about.

This movie has a lot of potential. But it is too cute and how it wraps everything up in a neat little package by the end. Hilary Swank does give a good performance. It was better than I was expecting it to be.

arghhhhh

"At once heartfelt, absorbing, and dopey." - Robert Keser

Erin Gruwell, ögretmen, okul, kötü sinif, ceteler, günlük, irkcilik, yahudi soykirimi (1995 yapimi Dangerous Minds filmiyle büyük benzerlik tasiyor. Karakter tahlillerine daha fazla yer verilmis ve yahudi soykirimi ile ilgili bilgiler verilmis. Ögretmen de daha fedakar. iyi bir seyirlik)

Interesting. Tearjerker. I like it.

Really, really funny.

Ok this movie was better then I thought it would be. Patrick Dempsey did a great job sitting on a couch watching sports throughout the film. The film compared the gang violoence that the students faced to the Holocaust tragedy. Student poetry was good. Then it took a bad turn when it started showing the kids just dancing all the time in class to music. What the heck does that have to do with literature. It did make me want to read the actual book (not the dancing but the movie itself).

Awesome film... brings me back to days I spent with a teacher dear to my heart. For that, I can only give a rave review about this movie.
