Dangerous Minds (1995)


Dangerous Minds (1995) Thriller/Drama 7/10

So I decided to watch this film after Stand & Deliver. It's pretty much the same story line etc, except the teacher is a white woman, who is an ex marine, going in to an under privileged school. While the story is similar in so many ways there are several differences. This particular film was about English and Poetry and it had more of a gang presence within the characters. Michelle Pfieffer tries to pull off this lousy American accent which she should have just chose not to do (as it didn't affect the story at all). So take off points for the lousy accent, the unbelievable story that she would reward the kids with stuff that was totally unfeasible (esp on a teachers salary), and it's a partial copy.... Therefore, I would give this film a 7/10, which I think is considerably fair.
