"There are two kinds of men in the world: those who run shit, like me, and those who eat shit, like you."

School for Scoundrels is a straightforward contemporary comedy: dexterous characters, genuinely hilarious moments and a few fascinating plot twists. It's the furthermost thing from an evocative, profoundly thought-provoking experience; however if you enjoy quality comedy with a ... read more

Basically, there was a time when I would go to a video game shop (which is now closed) and I would buy there on a regular basis 5 DVDs for 5 euros and, sometimes, since I would be missing 1 DVD, I would pick up pretty much anything at random just to reach 5 movies. Anyway, following this amazing process, I ended up watching some rather obscure movies and this one was definitely one of them. Any... read more

Description: Roger, a beleaguered New York City meter maid, is plagued by anxiety and low self-esteem. In order to overcome his feelings of inadequacy, Roger enrolls in a top-secret confidence-building class taught by the suavely underhanded Dr. P. Aided by his assistant, Lesher, Dr. P uses unorthodox, often dangerous methods, but he guarantees results: Employ his techniques and you will unleash your inner lion. Surrounded by a band of misfit classmates - Walsh, who's dying to move out of mother's basement; Diego, a punching bag for his hen-pecker of a wife; and Eli, a shy guy just looking for female companionship - Roger's confidence grows ...

A Complete Review of Todd Phillips's work (12 movies items)

" Cast : Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Heder, Jacinda Barrett, Michael Clarke Duncan, Sarah Silverman, David Cross, Ben Stiller, Jim Parsons, Jessica Stroup What was it about? A young guy short on luck, enrolls in a class to build confidence to help win over the girl of his dreams, which becomes complicated when his teacher has the same agenda. My two cents: To be honest, it is a rather obscure flick and the only reason I wanted to check it out at the time was because Billy Bob Thornton was involve"

Moviewatcher122's 2017 Film Diary: Jan & Feb (28 movies items)

"January 18 "How many of you have self-help books? Okay, that's your first problem. You can't help yourself, because your *self* sucks!" If movies were people, School for Scoundrels would be the average joe that doesn't have many interesting qualities. If you looked up generic in the dictionary, a picture of Jon Heder from this movie would show up. If you asked a store clerk "What movie would you recommend as background noise?" that clerk would hand you a copy of this... for free. I think I'"
