The Bad Education Movie

don't remember it

I think dumb comedies give me Stockholm syndrome--somehow I kinda like them near the end. Young(er) Michael Caine was a neat character, and the pay-off to the tattoo bit both made me laugh and took the film in a completely new direction, so kudos for that. Tons of misses, but a bit of funny in a inappropriately nice(ly shot) setting. Apropos nothing, I literally never heard "in loco parentis" before hearing Bruce Dickinson said it yesterday, so for that to be a punchline(?) here was really odd.

Never seen the show, but it's clear it's about an all-out juvenile ass-class. Didn't annoy me actually, but it also didn't make me laugh all that much. It's just too out there to make the shit they do hilarious.

If you enjoyed the TV series then you'll probably like the movie (though it's a stand-alone rather than a continuation). By no means is it a good film (technically), but it is immensely juvenile, raunchy, ridiculous, debaucherous...and above all fun. Alfie (Whitehall) teabags a swan...that scene pretty much sums up the film.
