The English Teacher 2013

     Linda Sinclair is a 40-year-old high-school English teacher in Kingston PA.  She is single and she has a comfortable set routine for her life and she likes to read a good book in her apartment.  Jason Sherwood was her most promising pupil, she runs into him at an ATM machine and learns he’s written a play but his father wants him to go to law school.  She reads the play and is determined to have it performed under the guidance of the drama teacher at the school.  There are a lot of upsets, problems and surprises during the rehearsals.  It's not her normal comfortable life.

     I didn’t know if I would be able to finish this film but it does get better although still too much like a sitcom episode.  At least the eyebrows of Lily Collins don’t seem to have their usual starring role?  3* (This movie is OK)
