Synopsis:
A maths teacher in an Hispanic neighbourhood faces down his class of delinquents and losers and challenges them to sit the Advanced Placement test in calculus.
Review:
A better representation of south L.A. than much of what Hollywood cinema of the 80s was supplying, this inspiring slice of life rests on a powerhouse central performance, though like most teacher movies it forgets that we teach other classes too.
