Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

whpratt1 This film takes place in NYC at a High School that is more like a prison, with wire screens and a huge security system through out the entire school. Treat Williams,(Karl Thomasson),"Venomus",'02, becomes a substitute in this high school in order to find out who killed his brother. Susan May Pratt, "Open Water",'06, plays the daughter who lost her father and Karl comes to her aid and tries to help her during her tragic loss. Michael Michele,"Dark Blue",'02 gives a great supporting role and gets very close on the couch with Karl. There is plenty of the hood scenes in the class room with a radio being thrown out a window and plenty of action in the mens room. This is another type film we have seen many times before.

The Lord Moose First of all, Treat Williams character is named 'Karl Thomasson' NOT 'John Shale' as alluded to in the 'plot summary'. John Shale was Tom Berenger's character's name in the original 'substitute'. Get with it IMDb. As for the movie... it is OK if you like bad guys getting theirs. if you like Treat Williams it is very good. overall I would rate the movie a 6-7. ( I like Treat, Hair is an outstanding movie and I hate musicals.) If you have not seen 'Hair', do so. Its a really great movie about the lengths friends will go for each other. see 'Substitute' only if there's nothing else on or you're a Treat Williams fan. All 4 'Substitute' movies are basically the same plot. Mercenary takes offense at the treatment of others at the hands of thugs and takes matters into his own hands to make the bad guys pay.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) This sequel is acceptable in my book. It's not like the typical sequel you would find in others. It's a whole new story, and a whole new ground here. Tom Berenger is not in this one, but the equally interesting Treat Williams fills in the void. He is not boring, nor is he dull. He's just as entertain as if Berenger was.In this movie, he learned he wasn't the only soldier in the school. He met his match with a tunnelrat janitor, who was a vet himself, and has watch out for non-students. Thought there was a shady teacher there he had to be dealt with indefinitely. After he killed that beautiful teacher, he really got himself screwed.Susan May Pratt was my favorite, who played Anya really kicked butt when she found out who killed her father.This movie was a bit of a sleeper of a hit, but it was a nice follow up to "The Substitute", and it held up well on TV. Rating 2.5 out of 5 stars. 7.5 out of 10.

LebowskiT1000 I'm not really sure what inspired me to see this, I didn't think the first film was anything terribly great, but nonetheless I still felt compelled to watch the sequel.I could be wrong, but I don't think this film has ANYTHING to do with the first film, other than the story is pretty much the same. As far as story goes, if you've seen the first film, then you've seen this one. Other than some minor plot points, the story is virtually the same.The cast was surprisingly good in this film though. I thought Treat Williams did a fine job. I'm surprised the B.D. Wong was in this movie, I think he's a really good actor, and shouldn't bother with films like "The Substitute 2: School's Out", but I'm sure he had his reasons for appearing in this film. Some other good additions to the film are Michael Michele (TV's "ER") and Susan May Pratt (10 Things I Hate About You, Drive Me Crazy, Center Stage), very beautiful women!All in all, I thought the movie was just ok, but nothing worthy of going out of your way to see. If you do end up seeing it, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading,-Chris
