He was so condescending with his quiet voice and slow speech. I could not work for somebody like that!

The guy just made my stomach turn. What I don't know is whether it was the character or the actor that I disliked so much.

reply

You could see if the actor is like that in other movies.

My guess is that the actor was instructed to act like that, since the vice-principal also was quite unlikable.

The Vice Principal AND the Principal irritated me. But with regard to the Vice Principal, I think she gets stereotyped A LOT. If you've ever seen the movie, Lean on Me, she plays the really obnoxious music teacher, Mrs. Elliot, whom Mr. Clark fires for insubordination.

I'd love to know if they were drawn like that in the book on which the film was based.

Courtney B Vance must have been laughing all the way to the bank,

He gets third billing in a movie where he's barely onscreen for 5 minutes.

total prick

Omg I know! What was up with that slow, barely audible dialogue? I haven't seen this actor in enough other roles to know if I don't like him, or just the character he played. Either way, he was totally annoying in this!

reply

He was kind of a jerk, but there are a whole lot of movie characters, that are more annoying, sometimes intentionally.

I hated him! He had no compassion for the students. He was a miserable prick. And the vice principal was just as bad. Telling Lou Anne to "explain to them a little about death..." They're not the smartest kids but they know what death is. Two idiots who I wanted to punch in the face.

I love when school administrators put an emphasis on lawsuits. Give me a *beep* break. These kids dont know what verb is and broke, they're not going to run out and get lawyers.

Yea he'd ignore a student who saw a bomb in the school just because they didn't knock first.
