Most helpful review Mr. Woodcock

  • Standard loser gets sucess comedy fare

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    Mr Woodock (Billy Bob Thornton) is well cast as the sargeant major gym teacher at high school who puts his pupils through a humilating wringer, one of his class 'Farley' (Sean William Scott) is a particular favourite pupil, due to having a bit of puppy fat present he gets some special attention from Woodock, but lo and behold later in life becomes a slim writer of mentoring and life enhancement books. Before bumping into Woodock again in an excruciatingly awkward way potentially for both of them. Yes, this does sound pretty samey so far, its a never offensive quite funny standard comedy, but nothing more I'm afraid, a sort of sunday afternoon lazy watch rather than a nailed on must see. If you liked Thornton in 'Bad Santa' you might find this o.k., if not it is similar ground and you would be forgiven for giving this a miss.

    I enjoyed this film. Didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. Well worth a shot. Was rated as 15 but didn't see or hear anything particularly bad.

    I thought it would be better. I did laugh and am glad I watched it but would not want to watch it again or spend the money to buy the movie.

    I really hated this film. It was not funny. It was rude and totally unsuitable for family viewing. The kids hated it and so did my wife. I would not recommend it to anyone.

    Save 78 minutes of your life and just watch the trailer. The funny bits are in there, if you can call them that.
