Average, Dull and clichéd!

I watched this film in my creative writing class and found it to be Average, dull and clichéd. First of all, we have heard the basic premise and plot of the film many times. Second of all, the film is terribly cheesy. The acting from the students feels extremely forced. The transition from not liking the teacher to liking her is sloppy and barely even there.I understand it tries to put positive attitudes, but for me, this did nothing. This is nothing but the same old same, aside from some good performances, this film is highly overrated!

Basically, if your looking for average you have seen the plot a thousand times films, well this is right up your alley!

Nothing special-5/10.

If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts would tell

I think it's a good story poorly crafted. You don't really witness the character's change except for Eva. You kind of assume they change by the actions they make as the movies progresses. And it isn't really straightforward.

i agree sort of, ive had this film for ages and tried to wqatch today but had to stop. just too cliched and cheesy, i will watch it all the way through at some point but i suppose when i saw similar films in the past i was younger i could relate to the students, now as an adult i fell like telling them to shut up and stop complaining as they are the ones making the majority of their problems

You're an adult?
Maybe before getting through the movie you can learn to spell OR at least pretend you know how.
