This movie gives us a little hope that there are people in the world prepared to go to extreme lengths for the good of others. This is a heart warming story, and although at times it's quite tragic, it shows... Full review

It is that kind of regrettable transformation that "Dangerous Minds" achieves. This is especially true of the film's excessively melodramatic climactic events, a bogus tragedy that does not occur in the book and has contrived written all over it. ... Full Review

For one thing, the acting is very good. George Dzundza, who plays fellow teacher Hal Griffith also turns in a good solid performance. She's as good in this film as anything else I've seen her in. The actors who play the kids are also very effective. ... Full Review

Despite the fact that it's based on a true story, there's nothing particularly original about "Dangerous Minds. But anchored by Michelle Pfeiffer's sterling central performance, "Dangerous Minds" is a strong addition to the genre, even if it doesn't quite go to the head of the class. ... Full Review
