Summary: Wasn't that bad
Review: I'm a fan of almost all Kevin Williamson's work. Even including TEACHING MRS. TINGLE, his directorial debut. There were some funny parts. Katie Holme's did a great job. I wish he stuck with the original script, it was so much better then the one he used. The part that was so lame was when the coach would sing "like a virgin" Just for that, I had to knock off 2 stars. Another lame character was the "smart girl" (leigh ann's rival. She dies in the original script). My favorite lines are from the scene right before Leigh Ann gives in to the handsome Barry Watson. Mrs. Tingle says:"Who are you fooling? You're so scared I can smell it. Your fear is the most predictable thing about you. You've lived your whole life in fear. Terrified to make a mistake. Scared to death that you wont get that "A". Or that scholoarship--or that ticket out. That you'll never escape your mother and her name tag. Or that father that wont return your calls. That's why you never let the boys touch your virginal body. You're afraid of getting that bad seed. Afraid of giving birth to a child you never wanted. A child you could only blame for your own wretched existence. Stuck in a small town with a small life. Destined to become what yo despise the most. I know all about it, Leigh Ann. I wrote the book. I KNOW YOU." Overall this movie is good and is wortha watch.

Summary: Failed Horror Comedy!
Review: This movie is just a chain of misfires all the way through. It doesn't work as a horror or suspense movie, but Helen Mirren's over the top performance makes it almost work as a black comedy. Katie Holmes has talent, and has made some good movies (The Ice Storm, Go) but needs to make better career decisions. Helen Mirren is too good an actress for this role, but she ultimately saves the movie. Other than Mirren's performance and a good 'Exorcist' impression by Marisa Coughlan the movie features not much else. From a scale of 1-10 I give this movie a 4!

Summary: Helen Mirren Teaches Acting
Review: This isn't a dreadful film, merely insipid. The plot is deeply flawed and implausible. It tries to be a number of genres and fails at each. It fails as a comedy, as a suspense thriller and as a horror movie. It almost succeeds as science fiction. The direction is uninspired and Katie Holmes, cute cherub face that she is, should be modeling teen clothing, not acting. The only thing that keeps this movie from being a 1 out of 10 is Helen Mirren. Her performance is fabulously nefarious and is (almost) worth suffering through the rest of it. Her ability to transmute from imperious to faux sympathetic to deviously manipulate and control her prey shows masterful range. Other than Marissa Coughlin's delightful Exorcist rendition, Mirren is the only reason to see this movie. A solid 3/10.

Summary: ABSURD, BUT SOME TIMES IS FUNNY !
Review: The MRs. HIngle from the tittle is totally ansurd; there isn't a teacher like that. But Mirren plays it with conciction, and the result is a good comedy, with dierctor Kevin WIlliamson not dropping one once of blood. It's good to watch eating popcorn, nothing more. About the teen actors, the one who plays Holmes'friend is the best!

Summary: Great!
Review: I liked Teaching Mrs.Tingle because it's based an real teenage life.My review is that it's great for teenage people but for some adults it might be just a movie.Teaching Mrs.Tingle is a good movie if you want to learn something from it.I gave it four stars for the actors and the plot and maybe for the setting to.I would have gave it five stars but most adults didn't like it. Katie Holmes was great in this movie, and so was Berry Watson.

Summary: Katie Holmes Is a Horrible Actress!
Review: Everyone, for some reason, loves Katie Homles. Why? Is it because she has a cute little rack? stress on the little. wonder bras do really do wonders. I mean, her talent is as vacant as she is. she is plastic. all the characters she has ever portrayed for very boring and very unconvincing. i don't know who she slept with the get her break, but I would really regret it if i was him. That aside. The movie is loosey based on a novel by Lois Duncan: Killing Mr. Griffin. I have never read the novel, but I know the general idea. Kevin Williams, Please stop ruining books. Yes, I still know what you did last summer, was a good movie. as was the faculty, and scream. but i think you are sent. stop writing.

Summary: A pleasant surprise, a very good movie.
Review: I purchase around 20 DVD's per month from Amazon.com. Amazon has a great service and will ship the movies to Japan. You Gai-jin living in Japan, could stop by Akihabara, purchase a region code 1 DVD player and start ordering from amazon. This movie was sitting on my library shelf unopened for over a month and finally got to watch it last night. I really enjoyed it. I do not know any of the younger actors and actresses in this movie (Ms. Holmes, Ms. Coughlin and Mr. Watson), but I was pleasantly surprised with their excellent acting. However, the real star was Ms. Mirren and she was fantastic in her role. On the other hand, I was unpleasantly surprised with the harsh critics. Let's face it, this movie may not be nominated for Oscar's, but it does have high entertainment value for 20 dollars. Three good looking young performers, Ms. Mirren in her role, an interesting plot, plus good picture and sound quality. What else do you expect? I had to deduct one star, since the DTS sound would not work for me eventough I have DTS decoder both on my DVD player and the tuner. This was a good movie for me. Enjoy it.

Summary: Very Disappointing!
Review: I had waited so long for this movie to come out, and then when it did, it completely failed to live up to my expectations. I suppose the acting wasn't too bad; I was mostly diasppointed by the boring plot and sophomoric vocabulary used. Did they intend on making the characters as boring and juvenile as possible, because they certainly did. I would not want to see this movie again.

Summary: It has Katie Holmes
Review: I was really looking forward to this movie. I've loved all the scripts Kevin Williamson has wrote, from Scream to the faculty, and not forgeting Dawson's Creek which I also enjoy a watch of. This fillm was also Williamson's directorial debut, and included the very talented Katie Holmes. So, to be honest I was probably looking for a lot from this movie, did it deliver? Well to be honest its probably unfair to say if it did, or didn't. To me it just could have been a Dawson's Creek episode(ok, maybe if it had been toned down a bit). Holmes was excellent and stole the show, but te film was slow, and never really peaked. Never mind Kevin, I'm sure you're next one will be better. However, its worth a watch.
