One of Ryan's best!!!

Okay, I'm writing a spoiler review. Now that that's out of the way... WOW!!! I think this is one of Ryan Reynolds' best movies EVER. It has a really good plot with a really good-put together story. So here goes: There's a boy named Dylan, and he's just your average teenage boy:he deals with normal teen problems, he's crushing on a really pretty, popular, girl, the usual... oh, and both his dad and grandfather teach at his school. His grandfather, "Stormin'" Norman Warner, has won the Teacher of the Year award for the past forty-three years, but on one shocking day, Stormin' Norman collapses and dies, and the summer before Dylan was going to have him for a teacher!!! After Stormin' Norman's death, Matt (Dylan's dad, Stormin' Norman's son) vows that year to win the award to honor his dad. But then Stormin' Norman's replacement arrives -- a young, cute guy who everyone calls Mr. D (short for Mr. D'Angelo). He teaches in a new hip way, and everyone, even the teachers, love him that he's pretty much a lock to win the award. So Matt breaks into the school at night to find out some info on Mr. D, and he follows him home, but all that me manages is to humiliate Dylan in front of everyone, and he follows him one last time, and he finds Mr. D has a secret, and it changes everything when he finds out what it is. This movie was really good. It showed that students aren't the only ones in school who worry about their rep, so if you like good movies and you love Ryan Reynolds, see this movie. You won't regret it!!!

score 10/10
