Neil has a longing to disobey his father; Todd comes out of his shell; Knox Overstreet confronts his feelings for a girl...and more. His unconventional teaching style comes under fire, predictably, leading to a defiant and ultimately satisfying ... "

"What do you get when you combine Robin Williams with Shakespeare? You get this movie. Very deep stuff. Carpe Diem indeed. "
