Review of Chalk

Chalk (I) (2006)
9/10
Ha Ha Only Serious
22 October 2006
Delightful mockumentary about new teachers. Well cast, well acted, and a brilliant structure that not only plays for laughs, but more than little 'only serious' edge to it. Basically if you were ever a student or a teacher, or a parent of a student, you'll get something out of this film. There's not much more I can say about it besides go see it when it hopefully releases in March. Oh, and it's so good, there's talk about it becoming a series. Think thats premature? Wait til you see the most refreshing sendup on spelling bees ever imagined. Then think about the fact that the extras playing students and teachers are just that. It's fresh and kinetic, and doesn't take itself too seriously.
