I caught this last night. Hilary Swank as an idealist teacher in gang-infested Long beach, California. The story has been done to death, most recently in 1995's DANGEROUS MINDS. Still, I kind of enjoyed it. Swank was believable (she always is) and Patrick Dempsey was given just enough dialogue so that you'd never know he can't act.
Worth seeing.
...but I'm getting tired of this inner city feel good stories like these.
How about upstate New York feel good stories?
Speaking of which, that kid from the Bills is gonna walk again.
