CGiii Comment

Great premise...terrible execution.

Chester should give up writing...and directing...along with Metz.

Chetson should give up acting...

Matsuo does brilliantly with a bad script.

Teaching English as a foreign language should not be an exercise in bullying...whatever were you thinking with this dumb characterisation?


No trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

When an English-challenged student seeks guidance about affairs of the heart, his romantically jaded instructor must teach him the words she never learned how to say.
