Critic Reviews for Around The Block
All Critics (9) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (3) | DVD (1)
The film's musty premise, about a novice instructor trying to deter an Aboriginal student from crime with Shakespeare, renders it the cinematic equivalent of warmed-over soup from the school cafeteria.
Every single development in the Wood family's plot trajectory is telegraphed, and these actors deserve to be in a less emotionally bogus drama.
Well-intended yet cliche-ridden.
A gem of a film.
'Around the Block' may have its exasperating flaws, but it cannot be accused of not having its heart in the right place.
Appealing performances, a few tweaks to the clichés of the inspiring-teacher genre, and a sincere desire to counter outrageous racism go a long way toward making this worth a look.
