Depp almost straight. - The Professor review by NC
With the drinking we almost go down the Capt Sparrow road, lol. Should be a 3, but went to a 4 as just so much rubbish about at the moment, and try to encourage Depp to do some acting.
Well tried storyline and format, but did manage to stay interested enough to follow the film through.

Self indulgent twaddle that thinks it's profound. - The Professor review by cw
Johnny Depp's middle aged professor has a mid life health crisis, gets a bit drunk, smokes some dope and all his students want to sleep with him. He also says some remarkably unprofound things about life and mortality that even a 13 year old might find trite. Unbelievable twaddle. Avoid.

Funny, uplifting and a jolly good film. - The Professor review by AL
Despite the theme of this film we thoroughly enjoyed this. Depp is just great in fact there is not a bad performance from anyone.
Funny, enchanting, sad and brilliant.
