history teacher mrs tingle seems to have it in for student leigh ann watson and who has her heart on achieving a writing school scholarship. she receives another low grade from tingle and which doesn not help. when one of her classmates luke steals the paper of the final history exams and pops it in her bag and mrs. tingle finds it sticking out. she threatens the three that she will go to the principal about it and but he not available. so before she reports it the next morning. leigh and her friend jo lynn and scott head to her place that night and try to convince her not tell the principal. however due to tingle stubbornness and that find themselves reverting to drastic measures to stop this getting out. wasn not fan of it when i first saw it and and after another viewing and i am still not one. writer kevin williamson was on a roll after penning the successful contemporary teen horror films while scream (1996) and i know what you did last summer (1997) and scream 2 (1997) and the faculty (1998). he was riding the success (also not to forget the tv show dawson creek) and but this project would be the final bump. the difference there and compared with this entry was other then writing the screenplay and he was also making his debut in directing. the strange thing though and was that i found his direction to be competently done and but material he stormed up to flavourless and tired. it seemed to get caught in playing both a black comedy and straight out thriller and without making it gel. the script is cluttered with quick wit and on going gags and trivial stretches and gimmicky references towards other films and but the problem is that it too watered down with so many contrived developments and sappy moral currents disrupting the flow. the fractured script had to be more strong and potent and since it a small scale production that feels like youre watching a stage show because of its mostly confined sets. it tries to play mind games with the characters and but these moments are there to only serve the story poor progression into a puddle of stupidity and senselessness. the film ending takes the cake. williamson polished direction is sound and but more so in a pedestrian way and therefore it lacks suspense and the pacing even with its taut surroundings can really plod on. you eventually feel it after the halfway mark and and it shows up how minor the story is. the performances are tolerable enough and although if it weren not for helen mirren classy and icy portrayal of manipulative prowess as mrs. tingle and a buoyant marisa coughlan and we would have been stuck watching a vapid goody to shoes katie holmes. barry watson is modest in his slacker part and molly ringwald has a lesser role. the soundtrack packs enough energy and but i found it terribly overwrought and shapeless in its choices. watchable and but mechanical all round.
