promoting Child endagerment and safeguarding breaches doesn't matter if the film is funny right?

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2015)

I don't care what other reviewers say, this is a horrible movie. I'm willing to suspend my disbelief slightly in the name of 'entertainment' but it's impossible to do that with this film. To consider a few examples: 1) Dewey doesn't provide any identification to the school upon his arrival nor is he asked for any - really?? 2) The police don't take any action against Dewey despite his deliberate and repeated acts of fraud, identity theft, child abduction and child engagement and he's even able to work unsupervised with children again?- really??? 3)He has no teaching assistants in his class and he doesn't have any member of the senior member team observe him(apart from a small bit which is clearly for the purposes of plot development) 4) are we really supposed to believe that the parents seriously care about their children's education if they wait until the parents evening to voice their concerns? Wouldn't the lack of academic homework or the fact that they would have been giving vague answers about what they had done at school that day have rung alarm bells earlier - particularly as it was a private and not a public school?(and I find it impossible to believe that none of the children would have told their parents about the band) This point is made even worse by the fact that the parents of Lawrence knew he's been asked to listen to the album, which probably causes a safeguarding concern by itself as its probably not age appropriate music for a child of his age to listen to.
5) A battle of the bands completion can sell out a medium sized venue at 2/3 in the afternoon on a weekday? Doesn't anybody in this film have a job? 6) the promoter gave them the spot on the bill without even listening to them - for he knew they could been absolutely rubbish 7) The police weren't called when all the children went missing and the concert went ahead anyway - a quick phone call to social services could have got the place shut down in a second.
8) the field trip was still booked - this is the most ridiculous plot hole of all because (a) The bus would have been booked via the school and I find it hard to believe it wouldn't have been cancelled immediately once Dewey's deception was found out and (b) The Bus driver hasn't been told about the deception or even found out about it(I would imagine it would have made at least the local news or got around the town pretty quickly).
9) How on earth does Summer know where Dewey lives??? - either he gave her his home address(why) or she got it from the school(how) - both of which are data protection and safeguarding issues.
Yes, OK... it's 'just a film' but just take a moment to think about what the subtext of this 'film' is actually saying about these various issues
