Movie Review: Harder Lessons
Summary: 2 Stars
A lot of Denzel's early movies fall a little short, but because I am a lifelong fan and am in the process of collecting all of his movies (good or bad), I will have to recommend this movie. Honestly, it falls short of his later, greater stuff: it's dull, slow. But a must-have if you are collecting.Movie Review: Worst than bad
Summary: 1 Stars
Being a teacher and Denzel Washington fan, I thought I might find some enjoyment and inspiration from a film purporting to illustrate the difficulties and solutions of the inner city high school experience. I experienced neither. Only frustration penetrated my senses as I wasted a couple of hours watching this film (after wasting ten bucks buying it)!
The story line might have worked, though I doubt it, if a few obvious needs had been mandated in the production and direction, like proper casting and a believable script. Worst of these offenses was the casting, as all of the "high school" students were at least twenty-five, and most older. Talk about suspension of disbelief! The same cast would have worked were they cast as the parents of the students! At times Denzel looked younger than the student he was mentoring. Indeed, it was preposterous.
I'm sure Mr. Washington looks upon this film as nothing more than a poor experience on the way to excellence, one of those setbacks we learn from to help us find our way.
Don't waste your time or money.
