of wild and aggressive teenagers who to become useful members of society. But ì
the film explores few new ideas and the hard-bitten character types are ì
pretty much stereotypical." PF *** The Star March 19, 1996
"A surprise hit in the USA, this familiar feel-good tale has Michelle ì
Pfeiffer as an ex-marine and divorcee who teaches ghetto kids english at an ì
inner-city high-school. Brimming with all the clichés from 'Blackboard ì
jungle', 'Dead Poet's Society' and 'Stand and Deliver', this is cloying, ì
liberal, self-riighteous stuff posing as entertainment with your usual ì
life-affirming message. It's about as boring as actual going to school." AW ì
in Mail & Guardian March 15, 1996.
