Summary: An Excellent Movie!
Review: This movie is a must see. Love him or hate him, Joe Clark is a egotistical man with somewhat of a dictatorship style who is determined to turn things around at Eastside High. This movie draws you into the life of the characters and makes you understand the extreme situation that Joe Clark faces, and shows the impact that Joe Clark and his controversial methods and tough love has on each of the kids. There are some points where the plot is dramatized, but it is still a great movie nevertheless. This movie reeled me in emotionally and I was crying and laughing and cheering along with the characters. I watch it each time it comes on cable and plan to add it to my DVD collection as a favorite.

Summary: Very true to life flick--Kudos to Freeman and Guillaume!
Review: This movie, when it first came out in the late '80s, I felt I had to see. I specifically recall the news stories of "Crazy" Joe Clark carrying around a bat in the Eastside HS hallways to keep students in line and the locking of the fire exit doors to protect the kids. Morgan Freeman was very believable as Clark and Robert Guillaume (of "Soap" and "Benson" fame) as the school superintendent was equally as good. I especially loved the scenes where the two of these actors would get into heated arguments, but because they were friends, the arguments were never taken personally. Even though some may accuse this film of being extreme in handling school violence and failing students, it's a movie all teachers and principals should see. In the school system today, such tactics as Joe Clark used are necessary! Great film!

Summary: Far-fetched and not credible
Review: When you see the words 'based on a true story', that can mean a lot or a little. I assume this movie adaptation of a true story was only very loosely based on the real life shenanigans at that high school. Morgan Freeman certainly seemed to act like no other teacher I've ever seen, met or been at the wrong end of. He spends his whole time in the movie shrieking, finger-pointing and generally being a thoroughly disagreeable man. Put simply, this behaviour would not have been tolerated (I mean who expels 300 people with only one complaint, or fires a teacher for some petty misdemeanour). Freeman must have been short of cash around the late 1980's in order for him to do this.

Summary: Excellent movie
Review: Whether this movie happened like the real thing or not, it was a great movie. Morgan Freeman did a superb job! I don't believe of those things happened, but the movie was great.
