To Sir with Love will pass the test of time. What were they thinking when they made this tripe????

Has anyone in the UNITED STATES ever even HEARD of it? I'm a VERY BIG Peter Bogdanovich fan (in TEXAS) and when I clicked under his name tonight I saw all this! No way!

This was a 1996 U.S. TV movie.

I KIND OF LIKED IT. I ALSO OWN IT.

I personally thought this film was actually pretty good, but of course it will never measure up to the 1967 original. God forbid if a sequel to "Lillies of the Field" is made.

The original, IMO, didn't pass the test of time and went out with the old. I tried watching it and it was really old school flavor - the clothes, hair styles, language, etc. This sequel, seems like a rip off of other movies from the mid-80's through the 90's, but it's not. I, too, like To Sir, With Love II. It was cliche'd but was pretty entertaining at 4 am.

I was a teenager when the original was made, so I can relate to the hair and the clothes. My kids, born in the 70s, get a kick out of it as well.
I bought part 2 because I found it going for $10 in the market. I didn't know it had been made either. It wasn't bad, but a bit predictable.

Love is never having to say you're sober.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?????????????????

It's as fresh today as it was in 1967.

Particularly with all the anti-intellectualism in this world today.

reply

It was made because poor old Sidney wasn't getting any love of late. And when it flopped poor old Sidney really didn't get any love.

reply

Just because a movie is similar to other movie's from 80s-90s doesn't mean it deserves to be called a Rip-Off. It's like people think once one idea is used it's not ever supposed to be used again and when it is..People will call it a Rip Off.

I don't mind this sequel. Seeing Poitier onscreen is always a treat. Of course, the Thackeray techniques probably wouldn't be so effective in a real hardcore high school. But, hey, that's why "dramatic license" exists.
