And the point was...?

Warning: Spoilers
I have to think that the producer of this film thought, "I want to tap that demographic of weird loner women who think that they look like Jessica Alba."

What were you thinking about? What was the point?

But this was yet another very fine example of how I don't want kids.

I have a few questions:

In what part of the country do they not check references? How did Alba get a job as a teacher without any credentials? Just put down in the file: "I took her mom's word for it."

Okay, she gets the job and we see that she cannot control any of her classes except for the one where the geeky kids who all somehow love numbers (or are easily amused). Great. So, by no effort of her own, she has one good class. What happened to the other classes? We never go back to them.

I can't say enough how thoroughly annoying those "good" kids were.

Then the science teacher (who was likable and all) falls in love with Jessica Alba. Uhm. I myself am a very lonely guy but would run away from a girl so thoroughly weird and disinterested. But the demographic of unrealistic wall-flower women who just want a ready-made doting husband would love it. But in the real world this guy would need a stiff slap in the face.

And this is all amidst a sea of wanderings and aimless walks.

And finally I have to give a thumbs down again to Jessica Alba's acting abilities. Like Scarlett Johannsen, she's a looker but played hookie from one too many acting classes.
