Great movie
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.this is a great movie. It's sort of a buddy movie, that you don't expect. Contains action, drama, humor and causes you to really root for this principal that is considered a screw up amongst his peers and superiors. One of my favorite Jim Belushi movies of all time.

An underrated classic
|Posted .I love this movie and I realize I may be in the minority that think so. It's no masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but it's still a decent 80's film. Jim Belushi's character is a lovable, broken, childish mess of a man who has redeeming causalities as he matures through the course of this movie as principle of a run down, troubled school full of drugs and crime. Or something like that. Just watch it.

They don't make them like this anymore
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendBest in genre of the "Ghetto School Teachers Who Care Too Much" fad that was popular in the mid to late 1980s. Urban high schools were war zones back in the day.
