Teacher's Pet (2004)

My Childhood Favorite

When I was 10, and got a copy of this movie at Blockbuster, I loved this movie. I wasn't sure if there was a TV show on it or not but it was my favorite movie. The only thing that suprised me was that they didn't show credits at the begining (name, actors, director etc) of the movie. But it was my favorite movie that I could watch again and again. I really liked the movie and was a great film. I wasn't so comfortable when I saw it at the movies way then for the first time but it was a favorite of mine. August 18, 2008

Passable Feature Length Film of my FAVORITE cartoon

The cast is as brilliant as ever, but there really isn't enough plot to hold this together for a feature length film. It's never as "laugh so hard you think you'll pee yourself" funny as the cartoons were - nor is there as much in it for the adults as there was in the cartoon. The message is simple - "be careful what you wish for" - and I suppose that's fine, it's just that with the acting range of all the voice talents, and the superb quality of the tv series, I was expecting more. This is not at all to say it sucked - it's plenty funny, and I made it through the whole thing, but I haven't memorized it like I have with other recent animation classics like Shrek, and I have no great desire to watch it again.

Personally, I'm waiting for the anthology of the series, that's what I really am looking forward to. I LOVE to watch the monkeys dance!

Fabulous!!!

First of all, let me say that as an adult, I had an absolute BLAST watching this movie! It is one of the funniest, most clever cartoons I have seen in a long time and I absolutely adore Gary Baseman's unique, whimsical animation. The cast, including Nathan Lane and Kelsey Grammar did a wonderful job of bringing their characters to life and song. There's really nothing else I can say except to see this little gem of a movie.
Lastly, I am absolutely ASTOUNDED by the viewers who did not like this movie. I will stop there. October 27, 2005

thought this movie was for kids!

I was disappointed in this movie. I love Nathan Lane and musicals, so I was prepared to be dazzled. Sadly, it was not to be.

The kids were puzzled (10, 8 and 4 years old),because many of the jokes and vocabulary were geared for adults. We liked the story line, it had tremendous voice talent. (I have no need to describe the plot as many others have already done so.) The real disappointment was the animation, the characters were really ugly, the facial expressions lacking.

The characters were not enjoyable - they were not likeable. The kids were quiet trying to figure it out! I would not spend the money to buy it, it's barely worth renting. September 1, 2004
