Rating: 5 stars
This brilliant true story follows amazing teacher Ron Clark (masterfully played by Matthew Perry) as he moves from the "safe" teaching environment of his home town, to one of Harlem's most notorious schools. Entering this harsh new world, Clark takes on a class of "forgotten" kids - the ones deemed hopeless cases. He then shows everyone - including the children - that with dedication and love anything can be accomplished. Just by believing in them, Clark is able to shine the light at the end of the tunnel showing that faith in another human being is a tremendous force, able to conquer poverty, ignorance and hopelessness. A beautiful movie that moves the spirit while showing how important teachers are in a child's life.
