Waiting for Supermannew
Make no mistake, this movie has its share of detractors, beginning with teachers' unions. The film speaks a truth that is usually whispered: A good many teachers are just not meant for the job.

It's Kind of a Funny Story reaches for an ironic, self-aware tone but doesn't transcend its young adult fiction origins.
