A prequel to the critically acclaimed television series featuring Jerri Blank, a 46 year-old ex-junkie, ex-con who returns to high school in a bid to start her life over. —IMDb
The television series is truly the greatest of all time - hilarious, bizarre, surreal, weirdly relatable and totally addictive (probably seen every episode over a hundred times) - but the film adaptation feels generic and watered down and the rhythm is off, repeating the same one liners from the series but in less interesting contexts (plus no wonderfully melodramatic keyboard score like in the series!).
