Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review This "To Ma'am with Love" is much more an escapist popcorn movie than the inner-city document its marketing suggested. Michelle Pfeiffer plays real-life former Marine Louanne Johnson, a high school English teacher who meets resistance from kids and administration alike at a tough urban school in Northern California. Pfeiffer is good and her character's overall development even survives various post-production story cuts. (A romance with Andy Garcia's character was completely eliminated before release; Garcia is nowhere in sight.) The actors who play Johnson's students are also fine and the whole film becomes the latest in a long tradition of sentimental movies about teachers who change the lives of kids. I--Tom Keogh/I

The movie is a Hollywood version, complete with stereotypes and fictional "dramatic touches." It's a nice movie, and perhaps it inspired some kids to do their homework -- if so, that's great. But the movie is not the true story, so if you are going to review the book, be sure to review the book. I think it's a pretty good book, but I have met the author and heard her speak. Anybody who has heard her speak knows that she cares most of all about kids. Very good January 3, 2004 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This is a true story based on LouAnne Johnson who uses unorthodox teachings to try and save the lives of these kids, from rough backrounds of drugs, violence, guns etcbrShe uses bribes, takes them to the themepark etcbrThis is a good film for any fan of good movies. Those who say its predictable, are right. But this is a true story based on the book 'My posse don't do homework'- that has been re-made into the book 'Dangerous MInds' brill April 25, 2003 2 out of 4 found this review helpful this is the best film, not only has it got reALLY TALENTED ACTORS AND ACTRESSES, but it also has the best song that goes with it.......br coolio - gangsters paradisebr br now that deserves 5 stars dangerous minds February 5, 2006 2 out of 7 found this review helpful Im a teacher in a school like the one in dangerous minds and the ffilm has influanced me a big way to change the school,it shows reall life of the children that come from bad back rounds and the kids in this move reflect that.Whith the children we most had trouble whith we sat them down and watched dangerouse minds whith them,they saw the ffilm and was toutcht by it.From then on the children thought twice about theyr actions and had time to reflect on them selfs.It was great to see them change for the better,and i do belife it was becouse of that great story.
