“I love Mathew Perry and i think he does a great job as chandler in friends, problem is he gets type cast most of the time as that character. and so it was nice to see him play a more serious role.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eyou see to really appreciate this movie you have to understand where it comes from, i lived in Harlem. i grew up and went to one of those schools. in fact, that class was GOOD compared to mines. we used to throw desks out the balcony and through cubes at the teachers. and that game they played u0026quot;bet how long before the teacher quitesu0026quot; we played that! we grew up not knowing about chances, scholarships, opportunities all of that was unchartered territory for us we didnu0026#39;t know what it was.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003euntil one man came along, he was a history teacher names Mr. Peterson, funny thing, he looked and acted a lot like the teacher in this movie. and to make a long story short, he helped us to u0026quot;learn, to love to learnu0026quot; when you walked in that class room you could here a pin drop. i love history now, i love this movie now because itu0026#39;s real, these things happen, and i hope this movie inspires more people to want to become good teachers. watch the movie”
