Teaching Mrs. Tingle

Pros: Helen Mirren, decent plot, good ending
Cons: lots of slow moments in the plot, doesn't live up to expectations.

Teaching Mrs Tingle had a few really interesting moments but in between those moments the plot lacks what it takes to make a great movie. The movie is fun to watch but didn't live up to my expectations. All the advertising had given me a different idea...

Pros: Good acting
Cons: Done story, doesn't flow smoothly

You could shoot her with a crossbow, tie her up, seduce her lover, and take naughty pictures of them together for blackmailing purposes. Then, change her grade book. Finally, get her fired.

I have read so many reviews that said this was a...

Pros: None
Cons: Lots. see this review.

Wanna know what's in this DVD? Not much. It's a bad story and the DVD does not offer much more.

How I feel about the plot --Call in Sick
Do not rent or buy this movie. The plot feels like it was written hastily and cooked up the...

Pros: Good For Teens
Cons: Bad For Anyone Else

If you have teens then you might want to check this out. If you are a teen, you just might like this movie.

Leigh Ann is the main character in this movie. She is a straight A student and only one point away from being the valedictorian of...

Pros: semi watchable for pure camp value
Cons: ridiculous story that goes no where fast

Teaching Mrs. Tingle was the second movie of 1999 that received the Columbine backlash (Idle Hands was the first). You see any movie released last year that featured teenagers doing anything but have sex with other teenagers was shunned by...

Pros: Can't think of one!
Cons: the script, idea, movie in general

"Teaching Mrs. Tingle" is one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. I had heard and read that this movie was just bad, but I gave it a shot and figured maybe I'll give it a shot. From beginning to end, I was bored silly. My major...

Pros: The original title "Killing Mrs. Tingle" got the axe
Cons: The movie didn't

In light of the poor quality of this film, I have included in this review several sample revisions to the script that I plan to send to Kevin Williamson, suspected Alzheimer’s victim and author of "Teaching Mrs. Tingle". And although the...

Pros: The cast, The teacher's wickedness, the teens revenge
Cons: How did the teacher go to the bathroom? The ending was not as great as the rest of the movie...

Teaching Mrs. Tingle was an intense, suspense filled movie about three students willing to do almost anything to get out of their small town. It starred Katie Holmes (Dawson’s Creek), Helen Mirren (I wish I knew where I had seen this...

Pros: Funny, Scary, I could watch it a zillion times
Cons: eh....Trudy

This movie never gets old. I have had it for about 6 months now and I watch it ALL the time. When I first saw this movie, I had no idea what it was about. I didn't even read the box. (I'll tell why later.)

Mrs. Tingle seems to be out to get...

Pros: Helen Mirren -- nice to see her back in a comedy
Cons: Film tries to be too many things at once

Make Up Your Mind. It's the silent mantra you may hear yourself saying during the fluffy TEACHING MRS. TINGLE, as if you could directly speak telepathically to the film's writer and director, Kevin Williamson. Something of a modern wunderkind in movies...

Pros: good film that is thought provoking if you think about it
Cons: none

Ever have a teacher that you would have loved to have left tied to a bedpost after you had tried to shot her with an arrow? Did you ever have a teacher that you would love to have seen gagged and you tell her what you think of her?

...

Pros: The scenes were bright unlike most movies that always have the plot embedded in the dark.
Cons: If our naive teens today watch this, then they may get the impression it is okay to be the bad guy when you want your way.

Mrs. Tingle was one heck of a lady. She gives a new meaning to being a charming and supportive staff member. Tingle reminds me of all my high school teachers rolled into one.

Teaching Mrs. Tingle is a movie about three teenagers and their evil...

Pros: One funny scene with Marisa Coughlan, Molly Ringwald
Cons: It's a teen flick, what do you expect, something real and believable?

As quickly as she became a teenage icon from her Dawson's Creek stardom, Katie Holmes' name drew as much negative attention as positive. Of course, that is what comes with the reputation. Holmes offered quite a bit of range from critically acclaimed...

Pros: great premise
Cons: bad story, surreal acting

I've been out of high school too long to praise this one like most adolescent teens have. Teaching Mrs. Tingle was one of three films which tried to capitalize off of Dawson's Creek beauty, Katie Holmes. She phased out pretty quick.

...

Pros: Helen Mirren's performance is right on target
Cons: The violent story, the banal characters, the idiocy of the concept

Filmed under the title "Killing Mrs. Tingle," this demented teen comedy is about high-school students who kidnap and torture their nasty history teacher. But, after that shooting incident at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, in...
