I watch a lot of B movies. I love B movies. So when a friend recommended this to me I was thrilled. I was expecting high quality schlock, but was I got was a well acted, nuanced discussion about bullying. Sure it may be slow and some of the bullying is comically over the top, but the last 30 minutes completely changed my opinion on the film. It's not an Oscar film, but it's pretty good.
I really didn't expect the film to change its tone, and just have revenge on the bully from the teacher, but instead it tells a different lesson, behind the bully is an abusive father. While I learned this in grade school, and it's by no means profound or new, it was unexpected. It was clever, and brought some greater meaning to the movie as a whole.
