Quotes:

Counselor: Do what you have to do.

Pretty sick....and that's GOOD

Okay, I must admit that this is a "guilty pleasure"--a film that while offensive and crude, is also very, very funny and makes you laugh. So try watching it when you are alone so others don't realize the sick sort of stuff that makes you laugh! The film begins with a school counselor preparing for a visit from a parent. It seems that a child has been bad at school. Unfortunately, his troubles are far, far deeper than the parent suspects! I can't say more because it would spoil the film, but the punchline is funny and the film especially made me laugh because I am a teacher and would occasionally LOVE to say what the counselor says! One minor complaint was the anti-George W. Bush comment. While I would agree with the film's assessment, frankly the same could be said for practically all politicians. Watch the film and see what I mean.
