School for Scoundrels
A troubled young man seeks special training from an old mentor and ends up in a competition trying to top his teacher. Hey, didn’t Alien see that plot last night in “The Guardian”.
It’s “Bad Santa” (Billy Bob Thornton) against “Napoleon Dynamite” (Jon Heder) when “Hitch” meets “Benchwarmers” in this remake of the 1960 British comedy featuring Terry Thomas. A wimpy New York meter maid, Rodger, enrolls in a male assertiveness course to help him win over the girl of his dreams. However, he suddenly finds himself in competition with his instructor, Dr. P. Thornton and Heder are fun to watch trying to outwit each other, but the gags are rather predictable. If you like these two actors and physical comedy, you may enjoy this movie, but Alien was only mildly amused.
Alien gives it 1 ½ “can’t make the grade” stars out of 4.
