Film Review – The Ron Clark Story Starring Matthew Perry From Friends

Want to watch a film based on a true story and see one of your favorite actors in a different role? This is a heart warming story of a teacher turning around no hopers and making something of their life.

There were no good films at the cinema this week and it was a cheap Wednesday today where weekly DVD’S are only one dollar for a week at my local video store so I went and hired eight DVD’S. This one was one of the best.

The Ron Clark Character (played by Matthew Perry) is doing well in his local town as a teacher with high performing classes every year he teaches. One day he decides that he isn’t doing the miracles he is teaching his students that they can do. He makes his goodbyes and heads of to New York to find a challenge.

When he found a school that needed a teacher, he was offered the honors students in one classroom and yet as he was being shown that classroom by the black principle, he saw a class full of children playing up all over the place. He told the principle that he wanted to teach the class that was out of control whose teacher had just quit.

The principle argued with him and wanted to change his mind but the Ron Clark promises him that he can make something of the other class. On the DVD jacket it says: No one believed in them…except him.

With a woman that he meets as he does waiting on tables before he gets his school job, as a friend in his life, that creates a love interest for the film, and the impossible as it seems job to get a bunch of what people say no hopers to pass in their end of year exams, this film moves forward in once good scene after another.

If you want a heart warming story, of a real teacher, whose book on how to teach went on to become a best seller on the New York Times list, this is a film for you if you can find it. There are not many films that I would buy and keep to show friends when they come around, but this DVD is the ticket!

I hope you enjoy it!
