Review of School for Scoundrels (1960) by Krissy L — 02 Mar 2008

It was pretty funny. Jon Heder is a surprisingly good actor! It's nice to see that "Napoleon Dynomite" wasn't his 5 minutes of fame. :).

Nice premise and some truly funny moments. But the execution was lame, the casting was sub par and whole thing ended up being a mess…

Heder is the only shining talent in this mess. Thornton comes off as a cruel, creepy a**hole…
