Stills from Lower Learning (Click for larger image)

Product Description

Welcome to Geraldine Ferraro Elementary, where the teachers are drunk, lazy or psychotic, every child has been left behind, and burned-out Vice Principal Tom Willoman (Jason Biggs) is barely holding on. But when totally hot district inspector Rebecca Seabrook (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES’ Eva Longoria Parker) arrives to shut down the school, she and Tom hatch a plan to take back the classrooms from insanely corrupt Principal Billings (Rob Corddry of THE DAILY SHOW). What tragedy in Willoman’s past has turned him into a complete wuss? When are Nyquil shots and boxing matches considered proper teaching tools? How much damage can be inflicted by a bunch of pissed-off 2nd graders? Monica Potter (BOSTON LEGAL), and Will Sasso (MAD TV) co-star in this twisted comedy about the perils of public education and the higher calling to LOWER LEARNING.

1.0 out of 5 stars The World's Worst Movie Ever Made - Offensive on all Levels, December 10, 2008

By	Daniel G. Lebryk - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is without question the worst movie I have ever seen. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie. Absolutely nothing. The worst part, it's not so bad it's funny - it's just plain old awful.

Eva Longoria, Jason Biggs, and Ed Helms (Andy from the Office) must be out of money. I cannot imagine why these three actors ever agreed to this film. This has to be a new low for the three of them.

This thing is offensive on every imaginable level. The foul language that was supposed to be in front of 10 year old kids, but was clearly edited so they didn't hear most of it. The horrible sight gags. The jokes in really bad taste - one had to do with candles from the concentration camps. The thought that a school can be this poorly run. It's just awful.

I have a very wide range of tolerance for movies. I'm not easily offended. I found Step Brothers funny. This film is down right needlessly offensive. I can't even imagine why anyone spent money to make this film. Never ever buy this film.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful. Total POS. Quite possibly the worst film ever made., February 1, 2009

By	JKH "JKH" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews

I have enjoyed some of Jason Biggs past films since it is mindless, simple humor. But, this is nothing like American Pie, Road Trip, or that sort of movie. It involves a bunch of screwed up teachers in an elementary school. Cursing, smoking / doing drugs, and cracking raunchy jokes to 6-8 year old kids is not funny. It is disturbing. At best, this movie is background noise while you're doing something else.

Avoid wasting your money and watch something else. This movie is pure garbage.

Also, as to the comment that this is like Family Guy: This is nothing like that cartoon (which I enjoy!). These are adults and real elementary school age kids. It doesn't mix well -- at all. The net effect is that you actually feel sorry for the kids (who are portrayed as helpless in a poorly run school) rather than amused by the situation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Exercise in unfunny offensive garbage from start to finish, July 4, 2009

By	One of the Dead - See all my reviews

EVERYONE associated with this film should be ashamed of themselves, especially the parents who allowed their young children to participate in the making of it. While I'm sure the little kids weren't actually present when some of the most vile dialog was on the screen seemingly in their presence, if their parents actually read the script and still
let their child in it regardless, then that parent demonstrated abysmal parenting skills and responsibility. The film is rarely even remotely funny or clever, although it thinks it is. It is, for lack of better words, nothing short of TRASH.
