shareYeah, see that was what was wrong with the film and the fact that the uncle *beep* producers couldn't see how it really was-too simple for their asses.
shareit's pretty obvious in the film that's not really how it went down. a real ex marine would not have been so patient with those kinds of kids.
shareSorry but Lou Anne sounds like a controlling, self-absorbed whiner. She acts like her teaching job was so easy and the kids never talked back to her? Give me a break. I went to inner-city high schools- teens are VERY forward and aggressive. She's trying to act like she's some saint. Good for the filmmakers for making the scenes in the classroom more challenging. Pfeiffer also was very good here.
shareya, the movie is realer than reality.
