alexlincs 11th Dec 2021		Rated 6/10 This film was absolutely massive. Its success was now doubt greatly improved by having the Coolio song "Gangsta's Paradise" on the soundtrack. Gangsta's Paradise is one of the best selling singles of the 90s and a genuinely good song. An idealistic teacher tries to help struggling kids in a deprived innercity school. She comes up against gang violence and teenage pregnancy. A big fuss was made about Michelle Pfeiffer's acting in this. It's Pfeiffer being Pfeiffer. I'm not saying she isn't good, but the role could have been played by Diane Keaton, Kim Bassinger or Sharon Stone. It's a generic, underwritten role with little room for depth. Dangerous Minds feels like TV movie of the week. I've seen it multiple times and it never fail to underwhelm me, rather than standing the test of time, it feels more dated than it is. It's a middle-budgeted, nicely shot and well acted drama, but offers nothing you hadn't seen a million times before even in 1995. Class of 1984 does the idealistic teacher theme with aplomb or there's Good Will Hunting for a better film based around teaching. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
