Best part of story, including ending: The movie was quite humorous but what I didn't enjoy is the weak script and the cruel characters. It's the type of movie that should not be viewed by a younger audience.

Best scene in story: My favorite scene would be when Lyn tells Elizabeth," A bunch of us are going out to see Period 5 tonight. You wanna come? and Elizabeth replies with, Period 5? Lynn: Yeah. The teacher band.
and Elizabeth says, "I'd rather get shot in the face."

Opinion about the main character: The main character in the movie was a pothead and gold digger. Her character maturity level annoyed me in certain parts of the movie.

Best part of story, including ending: The story is about a woman teacher who has evil deeds in herself. And later she purifies herself. The movie is full of comedy scenes with some serious dramatic play. Everybody would love it.

Best scene in story: When Elizabeth washes cars wearing short dresses and everybody looks at her with naughty eyes.

Opinion about the main character: Money can bring us happiness, also can give us pain. Elizabeth knows that better. Since her evil time, she acted perfectly until she becomes a good teacher.
