From Bad Santa to Bad News Bears no one can deny that Billy Bob Thornton plays a good
School for Scoundrels follows Roger (Jon Heder), a hapless loser who can't stand up for himself. Searching for the nerve to ask out his neighbor Amanda (Jacinda Barrett), Roger enrolls in a special class for men just like him.The class, taught by Dr.P(Billy Bob Thornton), helps the students overcome their shynness, confront their bullies and, most importantly, meet women. Coming off a great date with Amanda and standing up to those who used to terrorize him, the class seems to be working well for Roger. But when Dr.P is spotted pursuing Amanda, Roger starts to question the legitimacy of the class and sees his life get turned upside down.

Although the film features some great direction from Todd Phillips (Old School), it suffers when Thornton isn't onscreen. For those of you who have seen the preview where Michael Clarke Duncan responds to Ben Stiller's backseat surprise with, "Oh damn!" save your money. You've already seen the funniest part of the film.
