John Foley (Sean William Scott, American Pie) is a writer of the newest best-selling self-help book about putting your past behind you. When it's announced that his hometown is having a celebration in his honor, he goes home to visit his mother (Susan Sarandon), only to meet her boyfriend of the past 5 months - his hated jr high gym teacher Mr. Woodcock (Billy Bob Thorton). Being a fat kid in jr high, he often felt like he was picked on by the gym teacher. Putting aside everything his book talks about, he strives to show his mom the man Mr. Woodcock really is, only to end up hurting her in the end. Everything does get resolved, revelations are made, etc.
If you like slapstick comedies, you'll like this one, otherwise you're not missing much. Ethan Suplee (Mallrats, My Name is Earl) co-stars.
