He takes a job as a 4th grade substitute teacher at an uptight private school where his attitude and hijinx have a powerful effect on his students. He also meets Yuki, a 9-year-old guitar prodigy, who could help Dewey win a "battle of the bands" competition, which would solve his financial problems and put him back in the spotlight.

Rating 5 1/25 1/2 out of 10

Rated pg13for some rude humor and drug references

Notes:
The movie could have been a LOT better. Mostly it was just really corny.

Bottom Line: RENT
