I wanted to enjoy "Tenured". After all, I was once a teacher and the notion of a film about one who simply gave up trying could be interesting...even though the idea is anything but new. Unfortunately, the story is paper thin and gets old very, very quickly.
Gil Zabarsky plays Mr. Collins...a 5th grade teacher whose marriage is on the rocks. As a result of this and some HUGE personality shortcomings, he has given up on teaching the kids anything. He curses, lets them do whatever they want (including climbing on the roof and getting naked) and is insolent and disrespectful to his boss. This is the entire film...along with barfing (they show it....a rather nasty trend in many recent films).
The film is a one idea film which loses steam pretty much when the picture begins. As I watched my wife kept complaining that "it wasn't funny and we have seen better films like it". She's right and sums it up better than I can.
