There's just one problem: Mrs. Tingle, the history teacher who for 20 years has terrorized the students of Grandsboro High.

Critics' reviews
- "Williamson's screenplay doesn't match the cleverness of his conceit; it lacks the requisite archness and wit."
- "It's too empty to applaud, too insignificant to deplore."
- "A dark, biting comedy-- funny, smart and full of unpredictable twist and turns"
- "Williamson's directorial debut is a sad affair, devoid of shocks, surprises, or even his clever trademark diologue"
- "A spectacularly mediocre movie."
