Description

"Bad Education" is a 2019 black comedy-drama film directed by Cory Finley. The movie is based on the true story of the largest public school embezzlement scandal in American history, which took place in the Roslyn School District in Long Island, New York. The film follows the story of Frank Tassone, the superintendent of the school district, and his assistant superintendent, Pam Gluckin, as they carry out a scheme to steal millions of dollars from the district's budget.

The film stars Hugh Jackman as Tassone, and Allison Janney as Gluckin, with supporting roles from Ray Romano and Geraldine Viswanathan. The movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2019, and was later released on the streaming platform HBO.

"Bad Education" was praised for its sharp writing, strong performances, and deft handling of the sensitive subject matter. The film explores themes of corruption, ambition, and the consequences of unchecked power. It serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in public institutions, and the dangers of blindly trusting those in positions of authority.

Think of Prom as High School Musical with heavy doses of teen-aged angst. Summarizing Prom in frighteningly reductive terms, Disney says, "A group of teenagers get ready for their high school prom," and the producers list it simultaneously as "comedy" and "drama." If you read only that description, you easily could conclude Prom dramatizes debutantes' struggles with mascara and up-dos. To her everlasting credit, Aimee Teegarden, veteran of heavy high school drama in "Friday Night Lights," goes a long way toward redeeming Prom from its awkward identity crisis. With a properly delicate and ironic touch, Ms. Teegarden effectively captures every sophisticated senior's inchoate recognition that "valedictory" means farewell and "commencement" is a synonym for "see ya." "Nova, Ms. Teegarden's allegorically named character, recognizes her pet antagonist probably is the ideal prom date, heavy on the fun factor and devoted to keeping rented tuxedos and poofy dresses in perspective. The unlikely pair contrasts sharply with Mei and Tyler, swept-away sweethearts, who wrestle with conscience and logistics as they work to wring every last micro-gram of meaning and romance from "the biggest night of their lives.""Set for release the last weekend of April, 2011, Prom may or may not set the tone for the Class of 2011's dining and dancing extravaganzas, but it surely will provide invaluable fashion and etiquette tips.
