I missed about 75% of the jokes because I didn't catch the jargon. All these students are uppity, snooty preppies. I hate them. They remind me of St. Joe's in Metuchen. I hated that school they used to steal our school's girls and send their B-team to kick our swimteam's arse. How do you act like this and be popular. Ugh. Anyway Richard Griffiths is good but sadly he dies during the moive (spoiler alert), so the one good thing couldn't make it to the end. I hate preppies.

Affecting film that feels like a play.

It certainly has some entertainment value, but there really is very little interesting that happens. I suppose this worked much better as a play, as it is diologue-driven, NOT plot-driven.

One of those films you can't decide either you like it or not. It's too verbal most of the time but, overall it achieves to give you its sense.

Decent.

An enjoyable adaptation.

I think I hated it, but it was good...or something.

Too stagey and not a true representation of teacher/student relationships in Yorkshire Grammar schools in the 1980's. It may have ben a good night out at the theatre, there is some witty dialogue and a strong cast but it is not a classic film.

Definitely good, weird but good. I'm sure so many people needed to be gay, but that's neither here nor there.

Wonderful dry British wit. The characters were engaging and well drawn.

Very good.

Nicely pitched and balanced, may have made a better play than film. But still, nicely done.
