When I have seen the poster and commercial for Hilary Swank’s upcoming movie Freedom Writers, all I could think to myself was that I had seen this movie already. Except that when I saw it it was Michelle Pfeiffer, Edward James Olmos, Morgan Freeman or of course Sidney Poitier in the lead.
Well, if they can dust off Superman every once in a while, they might as well dust off and update “To Sir, with Love” as well…
A “water is wet” sort of story.
This just in: Hollywood makes formulaic movies!!!
You left out Tom Berringer and Jim Belushi
Mark Harmon, Nick Nolte, Jon Voight
And, one of the greats — “Mr. Daddi – o” Glenn Ford.
Let’s not forget Matthew Perry.
When did Matthew Perry play a teacher?
Matthew Perry starred in the cable movie The Ron Clark Story last year.
Admittedly, it was not a high school, but it was still the same movie.
How about Antonio Banderas in Take the Lead? Granted it had a dance angle, but again basically the same movie.
