Writer and Director John Stockwell puts together and tells the true story of a teacher and a group of students that agree to cheat at an academic competition. Jeff Daniels flexes his acting talents proving he can do everything from a Civil War Colonel (Gettysburg) to a raving lunatic (Dumb and Dumber) and now as a teacher and coach of some academically gifted students. When one of his students acquires the test questions that will be asked at the State competition all the students and the teacher conspire to cheat. The story tries to explain and justify why this course of action was taken. Whether or not you agree with the logic, the story is still quite interesting. Worth seeing if you have the opportunity. The film is an HBO production and therefore shown exclusively in their medium.
