Sedaris goes G-rated

A kiddie movie featuring Chris Meloni of SVU as a bungling gym teacher and the marvelous Amy Sedaris as a nutty school principal. I didn't know what to make of it at first. I ran across it on youtube and I thought it might be an SNL skit. A very long SNL skit. When I shifted to IMDb to read more about it, I finally got it: it's a Nickelodeon TV movie, which accounts for its total lack of edgy adult comedy. So I guess it's OK as a pre-teen flick. Anyone over the age of 14, beware. Sedaris is terrific as the principal, but don't expect her usual off-color antics. For that, you have to watch her movie version of STRANGERS WITH CANDY. Or catch her on Letterman. Such a pretty little thing to have such an (absolutely hilarious) potty mouth.
