| Source of story | Possibly books by Stephen Potter, his “Gamesmanship” was a hit in 1960 and resulted in a film “School for Scoundrels” in the same year. When we were young we loved the whole thing. | ||
| Writers/Script | Todd Phillips, Scot Armstrong | ||
| Additional Info | The now famous Jim Parsons from Big Bang has a non speaking role as a member of the class. | ||
| Director | Todd Phillips | ||
| Starring | Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Heder, Jacinda Barrett, Michael Clarke Duncan, Sarah Silverman, Luis Guzman, Dan Fogler, Ben Stiller | ||
| Elevator Pitch | A meek parking attendant enrolls in a class to improve his confidence, make him into a winner and help him get the girl, but against all expectations his role model becomes a rival. | ||
| Content | The parking man is threatened with violence, there are scenes in the class and the activities required of the students. A bit of smart dialogue, a tennis match and other activities as the rivals get to grips with each other. Nothing in the least offensive (I thought, but the IMDb content advisory thought differently). | ||
| A View | This was quite good fun, and probably passed the six laughs test, although the critics who remember the original Potter books did not like it. It is after all a bit weak. But probaby a watch for nothing, maybe while doing something else. | ||
