A good movie which takes tends to avoid the caricatures that Hollywood regularly likes to use to represent inner city youth. This is perhaps the films biggest strength. The process of change which students go through from being lethargic to being vested in their academic futures was not some that the director chose to belabour. The time jumps are relatively significant but well chosen.
The film has inspiring moments without being to quixotic and well worth a watch.
