Editorial Reviews

MR. HEADMISTRESS is the story of Tucker (Harland Williams ), a small-time con man who has just been released from jail when he is accosted by two thugs who are intent on collecting a bad debt. The henchmen chase Tucker onto a departing train where he literally bumps into Naomi Bascombe (Janet Wright), a renowned educator, initiating the con of his life by assuming her identity. Once at the school, Tucker soon realizes that he is onto the scam of his career when he learns that the school is set to receive a half million dollar donation...if the students' grades improve. Forced to dodge the disapproving attention of Assistant Head Mistress Harriet Magnum (Katey Sagal) and the unwanted attentions of the school's benefactor, Tucker plays the ultimate con while managing to learn a thing or two from the students along the way.

This review is from: Mr. Headmistress [VHS] (VHS Tape)

One of Harland Williams best films (hard to find a bad film of his). The only bad part of the film is that it isn't out on dvd.
The basic plot is a con man is released from prison and runs into a couple thugs he owes money to. A series of events leads him to hide out as the new Headmistress of an all girls prep school, while he trys to con the schools main benefactor out of half a million dollars.
Shawna Waldron is excellent as Beryl, a neglected teenage girl who thinks her father has forgotten her. The interaction between her and Harland is very well done.
The jokes in the movie are clean and humorous. Definitely a movie worth owning.

I have seen this movie many times on disney and I fell in love with it. It was so funny. It's one of my favorite Disney shows. It moves right along. The plot has no questions. The main character did the best job as the new headmistress. The girls in this movie are hot! They were so 'a person you don't want to get on the bad side with' it was funny. You got to see this movie!
