The soundtrack is better than the film, and the film knows it. I counted, they played Coolio's Gangster four times during the film. Anyway, there is a shopping list full of things wrong with this movie. It is so thrown together and disorganized that you would almost believe it was slapped together in two weeks just so they could use the song while it was still relevant. But whatever, the film is entertaining because of how cheesy it is. Even what's her name's southern accent keeps coming and going. The director just didn't give a sh!t. Oh, and the product placement was just too much. I saw three different students wearing a black shirt with a Dickies logo very visible during the various parts of the film until the very end, when they changed it up to a white shirt with a Dickies' logo. Whatever, at least the film had more than a few unintentional laughs.

Dangerous Minds was a very good movie although the story line was a little predictable. It showed real kids with real problems. It also shows that all it takes is for someone to actually care about kids like that and they can change. There was a lot of foul language and although that's how kids talk, they could have done without it. I like how the writers had Michelle P's character constantly talk about choices. She showed how everything we do and say is our choice.Michelle Pfeiffer gives an excellent and convincing performance as the teacher, Ms. Johnson. However, I found elements in the story not convincing. A teacher in the real world could and would not get away with what she did for those students. She was like the Wonder Woman in the world of education putting her own life in jeopardy as well as her students and completely ignoring the administration.. This story is a heart-warming story and the kids did a great jobs as the students in her classroom. Overall good movie, definitely sparks up some emotion!Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

LouAnne Johnson (Michelle Pfeiffer) is a marine getting a divorce from her abusive husband. Her friend Hal Griffith (George Dzundza) gets her a job at his high school. She's shocked to find her class full of problem kids bused in from the poor part of the city. Principal Grandey is uncaring and insists on people knock on his door. Emilio Ramírez is the most problematic student. Callie Roberts is the smart one. LouAnne tries to help Raúl Sanchero as well as her other students. She uses karate, Bob Dylan, rewards and poetry to get to her kids.This is another one of those cliché white savior teacher genre. I don't have any complaints about Pfeiffer or any of the kids' acting. I really like Renoly Santiago and Bruklin Harris. The main problem is the simplistic ideas being presented. The story isn't the most compelling. I am glad that LouAnne doesn't fall in love with another teacher. Her friendship with Hal is quite refreshing. It's too bad that the movie trots out all the old standards without adding anything new.

Luckily for this film the minimum score is 1. I am renowned by my friends, family and colleagues for the amount of films I have seen and the knowledge I have on them. Over the years the amount has become so large that i've long since given up on picking a "best film i've ever seen". However about a year ago I watched this film and my opinion on it has not changed and its rating on my list of films has remained exactly the same. It is by far the worst film I have ever seen. It is bad. It terrifyingly, apocalyptically bad. At least Plan 9 or The Room had a turn around point where they began to be so bad that they could be made fun of and you could laugh at them. This film lacks the turn around point. It just grabs as many "tear jerking moments" it can get its hands on, sticks them in a blender, leaves the lid off and lets the resulting travesty f*** up the decor of the entire room. It's been a year since I have seen this film and I am still struggling to get past this pitiful excuse for a film. Every time I think of it I feel like I am going to shout at someone and that I will soon be put in anger therapy as a result. In conclusion, I recommend that you never see this film so that you don't alter, or altogether ruin/obliterate any love for films that you may have. I know that I didn't mention what I hated about the film so much and that's just the thing. If someone handed me the only existing copy on a computer and to edit/delete what i thought was stupid in the film, I would probably just watch it and then attach a nuke to the computer just to make sure that this abomination and anything within a 10-mile-radius of it never sees the light of day again.
