    A screenful of nothingness!

  • Jeff Millar Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)
    The movie needs a few more ideas and a lot more thrills to excite viewers, whether young or old.

    As a routinely cruel, often vicious, miserably unhappy teacher, Mirren offers a complex, brilliantly disciplined performance!

  • Dennis Harvey Variety (Top Critic)
    A pat, hollow exercise!

    Teaching Mrs. Tingle an ugly, failed attempt to pull off a Heathers - style, teen - oriented black comedy.

    Deadly dull!

  • Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com (Top Critic)
    A wildly uneven and sloppily directed movie, full of clashing tones and undigested bits of superior films.

    The lack of surprises, plot twists, and clever dialogue makes this a distressingly lame offering.

  • Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)
    Contains enough amusing moments and unpredictable twists for the film to score with teen audiences.

    Teaching Mrs. Tingle reveals Williamson not only to be as accomplished a director as he is a writer but also his willingness to move beyond horror to psychological suspense.

    Misguided teen thriller -- don't bother.

  • Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews
    Helen Mirren's acting stands out in this mean-spirited dark comedy like an original Picasso in a paint-by-numbers art show.

    Here you have a movie in which three teenagers go to a teacher's house and take her hostage. Either you go all the way with that premise, or you don't go there at all.

    [Kevin Williamson] seems to have lost touch with his inner-teen.

    Predictable, mediocre.

  • Bob Strauss Los Angeles Daily News
    Despite the occasional intelligent flourish, though, the story is irredeemably dumb.
    Full Review » 12 years ago
  • Kevin Maynard Mr. Showbiz
    Wholly predictable and implausible plotting, thin characterizations, and stilted dialogue!
    Full Review » 12 years ago
  • Duane Dudek Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
    Current events outraced it in ways that Williamson, who usually anticipates trends, was apparently unable to incorporate in his narrative.

    The jokes are deathly flat. There's no 'thrill' to speak of. No scares.
