Plot

Taken aback by his mother's wedding announcement, a young man returns home in an effort to stop her from marrying his old high school gym teacher, a man who made high school hell for generations of students.

Sinekatalog’s take

A mean-spirited comedy about a man trying to stop his mother from marrying the bully who tormented his school years. The premise has promise, but the gags are crude and the tone sours quickly. Fine for a few cruel laughs, not much more.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
