Movie Reviews of Stand and Deliver
Movie Review: Stand and Deliver
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent production with a wonderful cast. I am a school administrator, so what was especially resonant for me was the realism of the school tone especially the weariness of teachers and surliness of students. Olmos' performance is terrific: vivid, animated, and compelling.
Summary of Stand and Deliver
Edward James Olmos's Oscar-nominated performance energizes this true-life story of a Los Angeles high school teacher who drives his students on to excellence at calculus.Based on a true story, this inspiring American Playhouse production stars Edward James Olmos as a high school teacher who motivated a class full of East L.A. barrio kids to care enough about mathematics to pass an Advanced Placement Calculus Test. Not exactly a variation of To Sir, With Love, the film concerns itself with assumptions and biases held by mainstream authorities about disadvantaged kids, and Olmos's efforts to keep his students coolheaded enough to prove them wrong. Olmos, virtually unrecognizable as the pudgy, balding instructor, gives a career performance in this fine piece directed by Ram?n Men?ndez, and written by the director and Tom Musca. --Tom Keogh
