About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a broad, silly parody of “teacher saves the school” dramas with nonstop jokes, especially if you like Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult; Not for you if you dislike lowbrow humor or uneven tone.
Pros: rapid-fire spoof gags; likable lead performance; playful teen-movie references | Cons: uneven laughs; thin characters; tone can clash
