...shame she's not in a better movie. Teaching Mrs. Tingle, a revenge comedy from Kevin Williamson, sets up a battle between twisted Mrs. T (Helen Mirren, the British classical actress who is in way under her head here) and sweet, studious Leigh Ann (Katie Holmes). When Tingle threatens to frame her for stealing an exam, Leigh Ann counts on two pals to bail her out: her best friend (Marisa Coughlan, quite funny as a carefully histrionic tyro actress) and the Depp-ish, droolworthy class rebel (Barry Watson).

The afternoon promises to be a toe-tapping jamboree as attendees gorge themselves on pulled pork and sweet corn, all the while listening to gospel and country music. George W. Bush is bringing in the sports heavies, including skeet-shooting champion Kim Rhodes and bass fisherman Johnny Morris, while Pat Buchanan's giving out potholders. And Lamar Alexander, who has 200 bicyclists coming to town, revived the plaid...
...lonesome little boy, hyperactive and hyperimaginative. A big, scary monster who doesn't know his own strength--especially the strength of his sweet soul. An uncomprehending world that would rather exercise its many itchy trigger fingers than try to understand that which is strange...
