Watch: School of Life 2005 123movies, Full Movie Online – History teacher “Stormin'” Norman Warner is held with great reverence at Fallbrook Middle School, he voted Teacher of the Year by its student body forty-three years in a row. His son, current Biology teacher Matt Warner, does not hold that same reverence by the students, who view him as a stick in the mud. After Norman’s passing, Matt, who received a few words of wisdom from his father before he died and who has always felt in his father’s shadow, nonetheless feels the burden of keeping the Warner winning streak of Teacher of the Year alive. His task is made all the more difficult of the hiring of Michael D’Angelo, a Fallbrook alumnus, as its new History teacher. Quickly given the catchy moniker “Mr. D” by all at the school, Michael captures the imagination not only of the students but of all the other teachers, that is except Matt, who uses all his energies to discredit Mr. D and his methods. All Matt’s efforts fall flat on his face, which places his son, Dylan Warner, a grade 8 student at the school, in a bad light, difficult for Dylan as he pursues fellow classmate and head cheerleader, Chase Witherspoon, who he already believes is out of his league. Some information he learns about Mr. D may lead Matt on the path to truly becoming the inspiration to the students he wants to be, regardless of the award..
Plot: At Fallbrook Middle School, the annual student-elected Teacher of the Year award is held. And every year for the last 43 years Norman Warner or most fondly called Stormin’ Norman Warner has won the award. Now that he has died, the burden of carrying the legacy falls into the hands of Matt Warner, the son of the late Norman Warner who has always lived in the shadow of his father.

Reviews:

pretty decent family movie(with a couple minor swears)
this isn’t too bad a movie.yes it can get preachy but it never really crosses the line into sap and drivel.it’s mostly a family friendly movie with few minor swears.at first it feels quite light and fluffy,but if you stick with it,there are some deeper things going on here.David Paymer and Ryan Reynolds are the two bigger names in this movie,but it is Kate Vernon who really impressed me.as a matter of fact,i didn’t recognize her while watching the movie.i only saw her name as the end credits rolled. before this had only seen her in very dark movies dealing with violent crimes.anyway,i did like this movie.it has a message,but it doesn’t beat you over the head too much with it.also the movie is really touching at times,but in a good way.the acting is also good.i give “School of Life” 7/10

Pleasantly Surprised – a balancing act that actually works
I only watched this film because I was on a flight back from Europe and I had already seen the other two studio releases. From its high placement on the airline’s priority of movies, it appeared to be a studio release which I had just missed. Imagine my surprise when I found out though IMDb that this is a TV Movie.

But Continental is right – this deserves studio release – it’s quite good. This film is cliché after cliché, but like another film that successfully negotiates this trap (“Casablanca”), “School of Life” finds new truth in each tired cliché and presents it with a freshness that makes you realize that there are (amazingly) still aspects of these themes to explore.

As the title clearly states, this is a Bildungsroman — but not the one you think it’s going to be about. While it employs a remarkably overused cliché in the middle of the film, it does it so well that you don’t care. Indeed, I can think of a number of other “feature” films that are far higher rated that have employed this same tired cliché with far less grace, far more commonality and descending into melodrama without providing the slightest moment of insight. This film, much to its credit, pulls it off.

The dramatic transition of the main character (David Paymer) is actually believable. At first this character is just half a step removed from the cliché of a frustrated modern buffoon — someone that you recognize from your life, but just slightly over-accentuated so that you know a personality like this would probably not exist in the real world. However, his dramatic transition is actually believable and not overdone. Again, while this secondary theme has been explored a hundred times, this film does it with a precise balance that makes it believable, enjoyable and meaningful.

Ryan Reynolds pulls off a feat that is remarkable in this film. He truly captures the aspect of being the “cool” person that everyone wants to know and who excludes no one from his aura of coolness. This characterization is so tenuous that any false move and it falls apart. And yet never do we not believe that this man is precisely whom he appears to be – someone that you get to meet once or twice in your life and you’re thankful for the chance. I believe that there is a Mr. “D” somewhere in Ryan Reynolds. Stealing a line from another favorite movie (“My Favorite Year”) – there must be a bit of Mr. “D” in Ryan Reynolds because no one can act that good.

Why to watch this movie? It is occasionally hilarious, always thoughtful and realistically explores the emotional responses of middle-aged adults, young adults and middle schoolers. It is an excellent “family” film that you can actually talk about with your wife and kids when it’s done. This coming from a reviewer that believes that nearly 100% of family films are banal, saccharin tripe and wasteful of the celluloid the films are printed on. For me to recommend a film as fine for the whole family means it’s really a good film.

This film does what films are supposed to do – it entertains while challenging you at the same time. Bravo for a film well done.
