Journalism movies have always given me a brief glimpse into an alternate career timeline. Unless it’s the newsroom in Never Been Kissed. Because those “journalists” are incredibly unprofessional.
Great analysis! I'm not disagreeing with you about Michael Vartan being "hot," but I specifically said dreamy (see also: Alias). I love the soundtrack too. I caught the end on tv the other day and I had forgotten that her character was only 25...I thought she was supposed to be in her 30s.
Ha! I had another friend say he's "hot," so I kinda just grouped them all together. "Dreamy" definitely fits the bill here though. Who didn't have a crush on a teacher growing up?
Thank you for this assignment! I love getting to experience films I would've never sought out otherwise.
Octavia Spencer also signs Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man into his wrestling match. Spencer was in the TRENCHES.

I forgot about that one! Man. She really paid her dues. (Octavia went to the same college as my mother so I love seeing her be great.)
Undercover at a high school is also the origin story of fast times at ridgemont high
They did much better research on that one then!
Gah can’t say this film is anything close to a favorite or even re watchable for me, BUT, yes and amen to all Octavia Spencer content
It's...not a film that has aged well. 😂 But kind of a fascinating watch all things considered.

Fair enough! And I'm glad to contribute, or take, suggestions any time!
