Quite good

The result is an adorable and faithful update that spoofs politics, television and Boston while making underlying points about education, class conflict and being oneself. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/8/2021

I liked it

Well worth watching. Many people watch movies looking for things not to like about them. I watch movies and hope to enjoy them or not. If you like the characters, most times you like the movie. I liked all the characters in this movie. I enjoyed the story too.

Gonna, cudda, wudda, shudda, wanna, doya

What a shame. The idea was good, how sad that insufficient attention was paid to the dialogue. We have Hannah, the supposedly speech perfect politician, who can't stop saying "gonna" (9 minutes into the film - "...and the school board is gonna visit..."). There is no such word in the English language. I'm sorry Americans but all such words are 100% slang. The film is however ultimately saved by the lovely and eminently watchable Julia Stiles.
