I Sure Wish I Had a Teacher Like Him!!!

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2011)

I enjoyed this film in its initial theatrical run, then repeated viewings. Just recently (I don't have it on DVD yet) it came on TV so I recorded it as my teenage boys haven't seen it.
So my wife, the boys and I watched it together and enjoyed it. Great performances all around, especially for Richard Dreyfuss. He was fantastic as the composer-turned-high school music teacher. A wonderful blend of drama and comedy! Having the historic aspect of world events was a terrific idea. I would say another reason we enjoyed the film was how it presented teaching.....that it can be done in other ways to get across to students.
The soundtrack for the film was also chosen well!
