Teller = good, Principal Dwight = bad, Carl = bad. On the homefront, Rafe’s mom has his (and his sister’s) best interest at heart but is so busy being a single mom that she farms out some of her parenting responsibilities to her boyfriend, Carl, who is just simply a jerk. He uses drawing as a release and an escape from the world he lives in. It’s a modern story of Rafe, a generic middle schooler (I don’t think we find out what grade he’s in) who is going through a rough transitional period (for reasons you find out in the movie). Warning: That’s my opinion as a grown-up so if you’re a kid reading this, there’s more to come.
Middle school worst days of my life full movie movie#
Here’s what I got…Īn incredibly clever and entertaining movie full of creativity and heart. We’d find a total kids-rule, anti-establishment, parents-are-stupid kind of movie, leaving Evan entertained and me, well, not so entertained. Here’s what I went in expecting…Įither we’d find a totally over-the-top, slapstick style movie with more caricature than character (think Home Alone) I can have a pretty juvenile sense of humor though so we were both excited to go see the preview. When I showed it to him, he immediately said, I WANNA GO SEE THAT.Įven though I had never heard of the book, I recognized that being introduced to it on YouTube probably meant they were after my son and not necessarily me as the target demographic. Of course, he had heard of the book but despite the hours he spends on YouTube, he had yet to see the trailer. Have you seen this? I asked of my 9 1/2 year old son. In fact it’s so popular that I had never even heard of it until one of those ads at the beginning of a YouTube video caught my eye and I ended up watching the entire trailer for the new Middle School movie. I might have come to appreciate being on “the other side,” a place where I never really felt like I fit in.īased on the book by James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts (yes, that James Patterson), the movie represents the first in the popular Middle School series. Teaching middle school is way worse and I only did it for a year and a half.īut if I had clever, smart, funny, and creative kids like those in the latest tween flick, Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life, I might have survived longer as a teacher. Are your middle school years really the worst of your life? Possibly.
