El Estudiante (2009)
1/10
One of the worst Mexican films
19 December 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I choose to see this movie expecting to see either of two, a comedy (National Lampoon's Van Wilder) or a touch in the heart movie (Death poets society, with honors) but I found neither of those.

At first it seems to be a comedy, an old man going back to school, entering the classroom he finds the students believing he is the teacher until the teacher arrives. But that's the only fun part in the movie. The other "fun" parts are boring and predictable.

The seriousness of the film starts, with predictable ultra moralist scripts, and non believable performances, forced histories, not related to each other, is like seeing a Mexican soap opera. --SPOILER ALERT-- The death of the wife was so forced and stupid to the story is like trying to force the audience to cry so pathetic.

The end of the film is one of the worst things. It sucks big time, but people are praising the story because is ultra moralist, and church friendly, not because is a good film, is the kind of story moms want to show their kids to "teach them" some good things.
