  • Editorial Review:
    (Comedy) Jon Heder plays an unlucky meter reader who enrolls in a confidence-building class so he can win the love of the girl of his dreams. The class turns out to be something quite different when it becomes clear to the young man that his professor (Thorton), has his sights set on the same girl. "Uproarious…fiendishly funny!" – Rolling Stone, Peter Travers "A+ for laughs and genuine comic smarts" – Maxim, Pete Hammond

    Description of School for Scoundrels Unrated Full Screen:
    School for Scoundrels is the kind of stupid-fun comedy for which the phrase "Wait for the DVD" was invented. Like a lot of its jokes, it fell flat in its brief theatrical release, but there's enough funny stuff here to warrant a look, especially if you enjoyed writer-director Todd Phillips' previous films Old School and Road Trip. Of course, Phillips also directed the comedy remake of Starsky and Hutch, so you know there's going to be as many misses as hits in the movie's constant barrage of slapstick, insults, and tasteless gags. Loosely inspired by the 1960 British comedy directed by Robert Hamer, this crudely Americanized version finds a meek and geeky parking-meter reader named Roger (Napoleon Dynamite's John Heder) looking for love and not getting any, so he enrolls in a confidence-building school led by Dr. P (Billy Bob Thornton), who turns out to be Roger's #1 rival in his quest to win the heart of Amanda (Jacinda Barrett), Roger's cute Australian neighbor and the would-be girl of his dreams. As an escalating war of one-upmanship in which Roger's quick learning provokes Dr. P's competitive instincts, School for Scoundrels isn't exactly a laff-riot, but it's got some aces up its sleeve that make it worthwhile, like a crazed appearance by Ben Stiller, a fun if not-always-funny supporting cast (Michael Clark Duncan, Horatio Sanz, Todd Louiso) and a pair of stars who work well together as comedic opposites in the game of love. --Jeff Shannon

    School for Scoundrels Unrated Full Screen Reviews:
    PRETTY BAD 2 Star Review
    2009-07-11 - I really like the actors in this movie. There are some big names. But the movie, the script itself, really is lacking. It seemed like quite a waste of all that talent. There were a few laugh out loud moments, but I stress a few. Mostly, the rivalry between the teacher and the student is just mean spirited. It gets to a point where it's not funny anymore. Much like Jim Carry's flop, The Cable Guy. That movie really wasn't funny because you just felt bad for the Matthew Broderick character. It went too far. Like watching a 1 1/2 hr hazing video. This movie has that same awkward feel. The movie is also very predictable. You can see where it's going well before it gets there. I don't know what else to say. Save your money and rent it before you buy it. You will probably not want to watch it again.

    A GOOD LAUGH FOR A NIGHT AT HOME 4 Star Review
    2009-06-01 - SCHOOL FOR SCOUNDRELS IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES THAT IS GOOD FOR ONE OF THOSE SATURDAY NIGHTS WHEN THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO. IT ENTERTAINS AND MAKES YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD. BILLY BOB THORTON IS THE PERFECT BAD GUY THAT YOU JUST CANNOT HELP BUT ROOT FOR. IF YOU & YOUR FRIENDS ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD WAY TO KILL 90 MINUTES CHECK OUT SCHOOL FOR SCOUNDRELS!

    Let this Bomb Lie and Get the Original 1 Star Review
    2008-06-19 - This is a god-awful remake of a brilliantly funny British comedy from 1960 of the same name School for Scoundrels starring the hilariously subtle Alastair Simm as the professor. Simm as "Potter" guides his students through the art of "one-upsmanship" by subtly undermining them, making them ill at ease, and feeling inadequate while maintaining the demeanor and guise of being a perfect gentleman at all times. Billy Bob's mean, paint-balling, yelling jackass Bad Santa rehash just doesn't compare . . . Please, check out the original-- don't waste your time on this Dog!!!!!

    whoever wrote this movie, needs to take Dr. P's class ! 3 Star Review
    2008-05-09 - The concept has been rehashed, Anger Management and a bit of Fight Club references, with a little Hitch added to it.
    But the story so silly and dumb, its a complete waste of Thornton's talent and its good that Ben Stiller's cameo appears to give this movie some needed lift.
    Very Average movie, a rental at best (only if there's no other option)

    Not bad 3 Star Review
    2008-04-07 - School For Scoundrels is no classic but in places it is absolutely hilarious. Jon Heder and Billy Bob Thornton hold the film together as the supporting cast don't really get too many decent lines (apart from the Moby lookalike). It's not that clever, but the humour is quite edgy and there are a few decent twists. Good Friday night entertainment.
