    the movie inspired me to telephone all my teacher friends and leave rave notices on their voice-mail, hoping they would go and see the movie. the story was a trifle slow in getting going, but it really picked up when the two parents collaborated, and really heated up when the union representative entered the picture. the scene where the mother confesses to her son about the accident which may have affected him still haunts me. this is a really topical movie for the ontario school teachers to see and reflect upon!!

    formulaic and superficially-told, this movie does boast some impressive star power and some good acting, but ultimately, you'll see every little plot point way ahead of time.
