Summary: HORRIBLE MOVIE!
Review: THIS, ALONG WITH SCREAM 3, IS THE WORST FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN. I CAN'T EVEN FINISH WATCHING IT, ALL THOUGH I DID, THE ENDING IS JUST STUPID AND DUMB! HOW CAN SOMEONE WRITE THIS BAD AN CALL IT HORROR OR SUSPENSE? THEY ARE AFRAID OF DOING SOMETHING GOOD, A TYPICAL, ONLY WORSE, HOLLYWOOD TERROR FILM. WHY CAN'T THE GIRL DIE? IT SEEM TO ME TINGLE WAS A VERY CHEAP IITATION WANNA BE LECTAR PEOPLE SKIP THIS VIDEO!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Decent Movie, Bad Conclusion
Review: I wasn't sure what to expect when I first saw this movie awhile ago. Would it be a crazy teen romp complete with insane pranks on teachers and classmates alike? Or would it be a dramatic piece with lessons and morals to spare? The answer? A little bit of both.

While I won't say I loved this movie, I did love Katie Holmes'character transformation here. From serious, studious bookworm to adventurous and optimistic. Cool job with the acting and writing there. Others may praise Helen Mirren's portrayal of Mrs. Tingle as being the highlight but for me it was Katie who stole the show.

My only real problem with this movie is the ending. Too many issues are glossed over for a happy, neatly packaged conclusion. The kids may have hated Mrs. Tingle for she was no doubt a bitter old lady, but the kids did indeed have a stolen test paper. What was Mrs. Tingle to do? Ignore that completely? And the issue is basically forgotten by the end of the film as the three students walk away scot free. Let's not forget that they kidnapped Mrs. Tingle and shot her with an arrow before she ever took a shot at them. The movie seems to abandon all of this. This movie would've been much better with a more realistic ending.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OH MY GOODNESS!
Review: This is one of the best movies ever made! It is a good TEEN movie. It has wonderful stars in it that do such a wonderful job. This movie is very funny. I found it more funny than scary. (There were a few suspeneful parts, but mostly funny.) I reccomend this film to anyone who wants to see a marvelous movie. Kevin was working with sheer gold when he made this. I mostly reccomend this to teens, adults might not find it as interesting as teens. Any way, buy it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: best movie, worst DVD.
Review: Who wouldn't like to get to torture that one teacher that always hated you, undergraded and underestimated you? These three kids certainly do a great job! I love this movie and would have given it 5 stars, but I saw the DVD version. If, like me, you buy DVD versions mainly for the extra features, you're not gonna like this one. Aside from the film, this DVD received no attention from the producers at all. Bad cuts, no commentary (B-roll just starts somewhere and ends nowhere), no production at all. It seems like the extra features on this DVD were just scraped up from various sources (one being the cutting room garbage can, not even the floor) and dumped onto a disc so they could claim that it had so many extra features (which my disc did....with a big sticker....). Too bad. DVD is supposed to enrich the home moviewatching experience.....this disc did the opposite, it ruined it for me. I'd buy the video and not the DVD if I were you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hip dark comedy.
Review: A lot of people have an animosity towards this film that is beyond me. I thought it was excellent. It's a blend of comedy/drama/horror from writer/first-time director Kevin Williamson (Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, TV's Dawson's Creek) that features an awesome cast, including nice performances by Marisa Coughlan and Helen Mirren and a great cameo from Molly Ringwald. Scandal, laughs, seduction, a teacher tied to a bedpost...who could resist?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disapointing
Review: Like many who were expecting something full of plot and suspence, I rented this video from the store thinking that it would be a good movie. It had to be one of the disapointing movies I've seen. A very unconvincing, shallow plot. Very unbelievable. I mean would things really get to that extreme in such a situation? The strict, mean teacher was portrayed well in the movie, but the drastic degree the students took to get what they wanted. They break into her house and nearly kill her with an arrow. Oh yeah they're really going to college now. I kept waiting and waiting for this movie to end, it seemed that it kept going and going but when it was done, I felt that was the biggest waste of time I ever spent. Don't make the same mistake.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A black comedy with no sharp edges? Smells like Teen Spirit!
Review: Leann is an overachieving writer who is in desperate need of a college scholarship to escape her destiny of becoming just a name tag. But, after a run-in with a cheating burn-out, her evil history teacher decides to pin the act on her. Before you know it, her and her friends have the teacher gagged and bondaged in her own house.

Mirren starts up with a cut-throat performance but runs out of steam immediately after she comes to. Holmes plays the egghead with a cutsy strand but stretches too thin. Watson displays no character whatsoever. The only cast member who shines through is Coughlan, who is highly witty and lively.

Like most in the genre, it starts off with a bang but can't sustain the bitterness that makes the black comedy dark. I mean, if you can't tell that this is weak from the video box (which doesn't even have Mrs. Tingle on the cover!), you're in for a hard time. Plus, this film also needs a music operation. If you were expecting another JAWBREAKER, you'll be thoroughly disappointed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst movie I've seen this year
Review: Rubbish, total rubbish is what this movie is. At first it reminded me of 'Jawbreaker', however Jawbreaker is a much better movie. 'Teaching Mrs Tingle' has so many flaws it's embarrassing. Why Helen Mirren would want to do a movie like this when she is well known for only doing quality productions is beyond me. What a way to spoil your career.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: When History becomes Deadly!
Review: Teaching Mrs. Tingle is an ourtrageous comedy filled with terrific twists! It's the story of one girl (Katie Holmes of TV's "Dawson's Creek") who is willing to do anything to become Valedictorian; even if it means murdering the one person who stands in her way, Mrs. Tingle (Helen Mirren). Supporting actors Marisa Coughlan (Jo Lynn) and Barry Watson (Luke) make this movie a comedy film that anyone can enjoy! Teaching Mrs. Tingle is a movie for every high school student who ever dreamed of getting back at the teacher from hell. Don't miss this one! BUY IT TODAY!

Rating: 2 stars
