Eddie lands his first teaching gig at an inner city middle school and finds his highly pubescent pupils are receiving no form of sexual education. Eddie isn't really equipped to teach them...he's not exactly experienced romantically.
This is a raunchy sex comedy that actually is important. Rather than creating humor from following ill-informed teens into their sexual ventures, this movie takes those teens, smacks them over the head and teaches them a thing or two.
Tackling the subject of school taught seal education, which for some reason is a controversial topic, Haley Joel Osment plays a sex ed teacher who just so happens to be a virgin. But rather than hinder him from teaching the kids, he takes a 100% scientific and honest approach to the subject, because his students' parents won't.
I wouldn't go so far to say that this movie is good. In fact, it's kind of bad. But the silver lining in this movie is Haley Joel Osment. With his career slowly taking off again, he still shows an understanding of all of his roles and great comedic timing and with a seemingly level head on his shoulders, it's great to see the former child star doing the things he loves without losing his mind. I'm rooting for him.
My Rating: 5/10
