Critics Of "Public Schooled (Adventures in Public School)"

Greer proves a resourceful comedienne, as usual, and a colorful array of supporting characters are nicely turned. The film's biggest single asset, however, is newcomer Doheny ...
The writing and direction of Public Schooled put a bright spin on high-school antics, and the ace cast makes the grade, led by Judy Greer's long-proven down-to-earth magic and the deft physical comedy of Daniel Doheny.
If this Canadian comedy had a report card, it would contain an A for enthusiasm, a B-minus for creative writing and a D in chemistry. It's trying hard, but the pieces don't quite come together.
Grace Park and Andrea Bang steal every one of their scenes as a mother-child pairing even odder than Greer and Doheny, and Andrew McNee is a stealthy delight as Liam's officious, easily distracted principal.
"Adventures in Public School" isn't for everyone. But this oddball high school comedy from director Kyle Rideout has a distinct voice and a wry sense of humor that sets it apart from the standard teen film.
