Console best movie i've ever seen.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

thomas-1170 At the start of the movie I was immediately taken by the plot and the setting of the movie. It really shows off; if you believe in your self you can do whatever you want. Ron Clark's appearance in the school the first day is like the kids meeting the devil, he has rules, he has the will to teach and he's there to make a difference. These kids are used to being the boss in the classroom and hopes that Ron Clark will be gone faster than he came. BUT as some of them realize, he's the savior for this class. Because there are a few students who are in the class to learn, and WANT to learn, and there are more dominant class members that makes that impossible for them. But what Clark manages is to see is that there are a lot of potential in general. And he turns them around by small "mind tricks". He manages to maintain the class, in a way they're not used to. He manages to help even the worst students see that they have a reason to stay in school.As of Matthew's performance, where in gods name is the Oscar nomination? I was simply blown away by Perry's performance, I've for long been a Matthew Perry fan. Why? Because he has always managed to entertain me, Friends was of course my favorite always, because there he reminded me a lot about myself, and he made me laugh regardless of watching an episode once or a hundred times. After and during friends I've always seen a little Chandler in any role he's done. As Ron Clark, I see Ron Clark. He is funny and yet he is committed to his role. His amazing way of talking and expressing his feelings, made him almost seem like a real teacher to me, and not one of those crappy; take up your books and write, type of teacher. Just by this performance alone, I actually had the feeling of becoming a teacher would have been an awesome job. Thanks Matthew for giving me an awesome movie-experience.If you haven't seen this movie, you should!

livedacreer Seeing the preview to this movie i had no idea what to expect, thinking it was going to be cheesy, poorly put together, and unrealistic. However once I saw the movie, right from the beginning I thought it was surprisingly well-done and inspiring. It was not only interesting and based on a true story, but entertaining and tugged at the heart as well. I thought the director did a good job of capturing the audience and getting the viewers emotionally connected. By the end of the movie I had a very good feeling, as if I learned something myself.Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion.

rick-keseley Much of what Ron Clark professes is missing from this movie if you dare to compare the movie with what he says when he lectures. I guess one might say this is "loosely" based on a true story.As a new teacher of high school kids, I can't say for certain whether clowning around with 5th graders really makes them like learning, but I'm certain that when they get to high school and they can't read or do simple math, no amount of humor can overcome the attitude that years of social promotion creates. Hats off to any teacher that get these kids started in learning.As far as the movie version, Matthew Perry does not capture the manic energy of the real Ron Clark; he's far too adult and restrained. Clark is a whirlwind; a person you can't quite believe is real. Clark literally sweeps people along with his personal energy while talking a mile a minute. Perry just doesn't get it. His scenes with children are unbelievable, because they are too easily won over. Now if he'd only known karate, he'd of had them at "hello" or so says Hollywood.I gave this film a 5, because its message that all children can learn is inspirational. A far better recent film is "Stand and Deliver"(1988), but the reason I'm a teacher is because of movies like "Good Morning, Miss Dove"(1955) and "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" (1939).

fact81 Nothing against Matthew Perry, I believe he acted just fine in the movie. However, when movies are "based" on true stories, they are usually stretched as this has to be the most embellished of them all! It wasn't the acting that bothered me, the youngsters actually did very well in that respect.When Ron Clark(Matthew Perry) first comes into the classroom and states there are 3 rules which he demands to be followed, thats fine. its when the movie continues & through out, Mr. Clark had as many as 25-30 rules all over the room. Thats the first No No! When your teacher, you establish your rules 1st and foremost to the students get accustomed to following them. "Procedure, procedure, procedure" once you start adding things or CHANGING things, the children(whether they are from the ghetto, or not) will become insanely confused and unfamiliar with the environment of the classroom.When the class is on their way to lunch and the main character student cuts in line, Mr. Clark proceeds to ask her if she cut in line and then replies with "Until you tell the truth, the whole class will suffer" Lol, this may have been allowed or perhaps encourages in the older days of teaching, but I can tell you if a teacher did that now and a Principal saw it, you would get a warning or be out the door. It promotes negativity amongst the students and its not helping an already negative situation. There are other ways to go about dealing with 1 student while NOT affecting the rest of the class.When Mr. Clark informs the students they are going to "Phantom of the Opera" all of the students get excited, especially Te-Shaun(however you spell it). That was where I laughed, I have been into rough area schools etc etc, these kids wouldn't know or give a rats ass about "Phantom of the Opera" this part was almost to the point where I turned the film off completely.My last issue with the movie is this. Who is the token drunk white guy who beats up TeShaun lol, where did that come from in the movie? Don't get me wrong here, nothing wrong with the acting in the movie, but very unrealistic and if you think you can get kids in these types of areas to appreciate "Phantom of the Opera" and things like that, keep on dreaming. I'm not saying you cannot touch 1 or even 2 students and help them succeed, but this was ridiculous
