 HEB's Bargain Bin Bomb October 1, 2009
Robert J. Leatherman
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I found this movie in the to for $[...] bin at the HEB market. I had gotten some great titles there that were pretty decent Rocky among others that were at least good enough to keep in my collection even though some of them, I would never watch again. In this movie it's nauseating right from the start. It shows a principal at an elementary school that has an office with appointments like jeweled globes, inlaid burl wood paneling and a teakwood desk. All that didn't seem too much out of the ordinary, if not plausible. Then they showed a scene of him doing a line of coke or some other type of drug and this is where I drew the line. I decided that this movie wasn't even worth watching despite the star power of Eva Longoria and Jason Biggs. I couldn't even stand to watch it long enough to see her in it. I don't know, being a teacher probably tilted my perception somewhat by deciding that this movie had to be a ridiculous mistake when it was made and an equally bad decision on my part to buy it. The fact that the elementary school was named after Geraldine Ferraro added more to the ridiculousness of the picture. If you want to see Eva Longoria in a film with a little more credibility, check out the Sentinel. I admit to making a mistake in forking out the 16 bucks to see that one in the theater but would not hesitate for diving for it if I see it at the bargain bin at HEB. The bottom line is I wouldn't even give this movie as a present to my worst enemy, Seeing a principal doing drugs in a school was just too disgusting for me. I'm sorry.

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.
