Small-town Pennsylvania schoolteacher Linda Sinclair balances her staid home life with an incredible passion for her subject. Then a former star pupil reenters her life after failing as a playwright in New York City. Seeing in his script the inspiration that she has always longed to instill in her students, this dyed-in-the-wool romantic enlists the help of long-suffering drama teacher Carl to mount the work as the high school’s next and riskiest production.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A potentially incisive character study is buried under layers of fluff in The English Teacher.

rotten:
Apropos of its title, The English Teacher feels like a movie written as a homework assignment.

The report card for low-key high school comedy The English Teacher would read something like this: Weak effort; this student is too easily distracted, fails to follow through and turns in unfinished work.

Pleasant is the perfect word with which to describe The English Teacher, an ingratiating little comedy that aims to please and succeeds at its modest goal.

rotten:
The movie doesn't do enough with its cast or its idea; it's an underachiever that simply doesn't try hard enough.
