 Exercise in unfunny offensive garbage from start to finish July 4, 2009
One of the Dead
EVERYONE associated with this film should be ashamed of themselves, especially the parents who allowed their young children to participate in the making of it. While I'm sure the little kids weren't actually present when some of the most vile dialog was on the screen seemingly in their presence, if their parents actually read the script and still
let their child in it regardless, then that parent demonstrated abysmal parenting skills and responsibility. The film is rarely even remotely funny or clever, although it thinks it is. It is, for lack of better words, nothing short of TRASH.
 Horrible or Darkly Funny? June 23, 2009

To be honest, I'm not even sure. Part of me wants to give it five stars for the funny bits in it - the kids cussing at the teachers and the positive lesson that the VP learned (to care for kids and all) and the sheer offensiveness of it - and then I want to give it a one star because of that very same sheer offensiveness in there. The positive reviewers are right to like it, the negative reviewers are right to hate it, so I'll give it a 50/50 rating and give it three out of five stars. I can tell you, it's probably not what you would expect.
 not bad as most negative reviewers told May 31, 2009
Super Critique
This movie does have STRONG language, etc.., But if you'll understand that is why the movie titled, "LOWER LEARNING" the lowest of the low (Uneducated) tends to associate with bad language. If you are offended don't watch this movie. Giving only Four Star, because the end needs to extend to a happier ending where the principal and superintendent gets punished, but normally movies with single-layer dvd tends to fall short of good endings.
ZERO STARS!!! I WOULD RATHER STARE AT A WALL FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF April 17, 2009

Unlike other reviewers, I was not offended by this movie. It was just complete GARBAGE! I wouldn't even want this movie to serve as a coaster because it would be a constant reminder that I watched it. Thankfully, I rented this movie, and even then I wanted to destroy the Disc. I roughly returned this junk heap back to blockbuster.
The argument that I am not the target audience would not apply to me, because I love movies such as American Pie, Sex Drive, Road Trip, and other raunchy comedies. I believe if a talented writer and director were attached to this movie, it would have been at the least decent. Even the two hot girls in this movie weren't enough to save this POS. It does surprise me that these well known actors agreed to do this. I don't write reviews but I was pissed and this had to be published to save others. I guess that's the humanitarian in me. For the Love of God, stay away, or you shall suffer the wrath of complete boredom.
Awful. Total POS. Quite possibly the worst film ever made. February 1, 2009

I have enjoyed some of Jason Biggs past films since it is mindless, simple humor. But, this is nothing like American Pie, Road Trip, or that sort of movie. It involves a bunch of screwed up teachers in an elementary school. Cursing, smoking / doing drugs, and cracking raunchy jokes to 6-8 year old kids is not funny. It is disturbing. At best, this movie is background noise while you're doing something else.
Avoid wasting your money and watch something else. This movie is pure garbage.
Also, as to the comment that this is like Family Guy: This is nothing like that cartoon (which I enjoy!). These are adults and real elementary school age kids. It doesn't mix well -- at all. The net effect is that you actually feel sorry for the kids (who are portrayed as helpless in a poorly run school) rather than amused by the situation.
