Won't Back Down

Jamie Fitzpatrick and Nona Alberts are two women from opposites sides of the social and economic track, but they have one thing in common: a mission to fix their community's broken school and ensure a bright future for their children. The two women refuse to let any obstacles stand in their way as they battle a bureaucracy that's hopelessly mired in traditional thinking, and they seek to re-energize a faculty that has lost its passion for teaching.

I found it kinda annoying and lost interest after 15 minutes at most. The movie is based on a good idea for a movie, but the execution was horrible imo. I was mostly annoyed and bored. The ending was predictable (as expected tho and this movie should have a happy ending) and very cringe-worthy. It did have some good parts, but I think that was due to the pretty good cast (didn't like Maggie Gyllenhaal tho). The rest of the movie was kinda meh. But since I lost interest so soon maybe I judged too hard and it might have been better than I initially thought (I missed the most of the middle part of the movie). Might watch it again just to follow it entirely. But probably not.

An amazing cast, an interesting subject, it basically writes itself, right? Well, no. Unfortunately it fails miserably.

Don't get me wrong, it can still be watched and even enjoyed but other than a few reasonably good characters, the story being told comes off as unbelievably shallow.

I simply can't shake the notion that it should have been much more had it had a decent script and a better director. Or if at least it didn't have a hidden agenda.
