School for Scoundrels

Who's in it: Jon Heder, Billy Bob Thorton, Michael Clarke Duncan, Jacinda Barrett

What's it about: So many years have gone by in Roger's(Heder) life in which he's been trampled upon by other men and some women. He can never seem to make it with the ladies. After a reference to Dr. P(Thorton) and his assistant Lesher(Duncan), Roger partakes in a class with a group of other men just like him. His goal is to eventually date Amanda(Barrett) who lives on the same floor of his apartment building. The class goes through all of the basics of style and confidence to hit it off with women. Amanda meets Dr. P and it's a survival of the fittest between Roger and his teacher.

What I Think: Heder is such a good actor. Thorton has always been on my good side. Even though I didn't like his character, I liked watching him play such a man. I have never seen Barrett before but she played her part well. Each scene was planned out perfectly because I was always wondering what could possibly happen next and that's what a good movie is supposed to do. Duncan played so great and I loved every detail that was released about him by certain characters throughout the story. Suprisingly, Ben Stiller was squeezed in there. He played a short role but he made the movie as always.
