i was a freedom writer (10th-12th) and i was so upset with the over dramatized nature of this film. as i watched this film, the first weekend it was out and also glad i didn't waste my money to fly to the premiere, i was jaw dropped at all the untrue happenings. as to not spoil this film for people who are willing to waste their hard earned money on it i won't tell you everything but just watch knowing that what you are seeing has very little to do with the truth. anything even remotely good that happens in the film that doesn't include "gang warfare" and then becoming "bff" is never even mentioned of. i was almost sick in the movie because of the lack of truth. my husband knew of all the wonderful opportunities i was given in that class and he was disappointed as well. my husbands mother went with us, as she wanted to see a movie about the class she had heard so much about, and she was touched yet curious about how i turned out so well. so i guess if you know don't know anything about this class or it's students , especially the ones who weren't in a gang or were thugs, you might think that this movie is very heart warming. unfortunately you are going to be very mislead
