Good start, but then it gets ruined

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

How come that average rating of this movie is 6? Ok, it is not the best movei ever, but in comparison to last 10 years production this is a marvel. No special effects, no crime, no violence. Just a movie. Just a movie. With a story, with passion, with actors that can live basics (emotions). But obviously this is far too much for contemporaty taste.

Two hours in, I realised I wasn't gonna make it through to the end. Characters and writing just didn't grab me. I think I know where the movie was heading but didn't wait around to see if I was right. Didn't care!

Both the leading stars are 5* in this movie .The dialoge deliciously witty, sharp & clever and Honest. the film combines humour and poignancy smoothly and without , The relationship between the 2 protagonists starts coldly but slowly warms for 3/4 of the film so they finally become involved in an affair.Regrettably until a catastrophic incident occurs between them destroying their mutual love and admiration.It collapses to sub zero ! Finally at the end, with no clichés just warmth, We were surprised that most of the searches for reviews did not give any opinions at all.their difference are resolved happiy. A quietly impressive film that should be enjoyed by a much wider audience.Both the direction, visuals and sound where good and the majority of the actors where good.

What is the meaning of a movie that displays a very talented English teacher and writer as an alcoholic who is obnoxious, unlikeable, and totally wasting his life / talent away because he is addicted to alcohol. Why not just watch someone puking his guts (life) out for 90 minutes. Very sad if this is what interests you. What is the point ? Lots of very poor character traits shown in the students, and spineless administration that lets the kids get away with this. Yes, the movie portrays reality, but not the healthy side. Look for something else to do with your time. Suggestions: Radio, Listen to your Heart, Unconditional, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, Ring the Bell, and The Mighty, to name a few. All display healthy reality shows of characters that have handicaps, but overcome them with strength, determination, humor, and honesty. Support traits that make society better, not those that bring people down to the gutter.
