Mr. Woodcock

Rhetorical question: What?s the only thing that can keep a potentially bad movie?s head above water? Good actors, or course. Sure, the Dodgeball-esque scenes of Billy Bob Thornton viciously pegging second-graders with a basketball are chuckle-inducing (It appeals to the America?s Funniest Home Videos lover in all of us), but the movie didn?t quite live up to the promising plot. John Farley (Seann William Scott) plays a bestselling self-help author who was once a portly underachiever often bullied and terrorized by his militant (and potentially lawsuit-causing) gym teacher, Mr. Woodcock (Thornton). When he?s invited to receive his Nebraska hometown?s most coveted award, the corn cob key, he decides to pay his mother (Susan Sarandon) a visit. With horror, he discovers that she?s planning on getting married to the sinister Mr. Woodcock. And, of course, the rest of the movie shows John?s unraveling as he tries with all his might (and "corny" predictability) to stop that from happening. The movie provides some good laughs, but it?s definitely on the B-list for the likes of these hilarious starring actors.
