Woodshop
In this tough-as-nails, coming-of-age comedy, high school valedictorian Chris Johnson's plans for an Ivy League future are suddenly derailed by an unfortunate chem lab explosion. In order to keep the mishap off his permanent record, Chris must attend - and survive - Saturday detention under the watchful eye of the woodshop teacher (Jesse Ventura), an ex-Army Ranger who's more than a little rough around the edges. While dealing with hilarious complications involving his misfit classmates, including the nerds, the tomboy, the stoner and the bully-from-hell, Chris has just one goal in mind: to make it through the day...without coming unglued!

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic coming-of-age tale by pitting its valedictorian protagonist against the gritty reality of a high school woodshop. It relies on the familiar framework of Saturday detention, populating it with a cast of misfits and situational humor that drives the narrative forward.
Those who tire of overly polished teen comedies may find charm in this rough-edged story. What lingers after the credits is a sense that real growth often happens far from the honor roll, in the sawdust and chaos of unexpected places. — MovieFinder Editorial
