5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best!, Jan 12 2005

IDA WALKER (Memphis, Tn.) - See all my reviews

I have veiwed this movie several times. I love the character Christian Payton protrayed, a bad gangster turned good. All of the characters were casted perfect. I cried through most of the picture, me being a school teacher myself, I think that a teacher is not a real teacher if he/she do not touch on more than the subject they teach. Sidney Poitier was an excellent teacher in the film. He cared about his students and he also took time to know his students. This is a must see flick. I have only veiwed the movie on televison. I was not able to find it on DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sequel almost as good as the original, April 19 2011

By Gary P "mighty_reader" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: To Sir With Love II (DVD)

This movie starts in England with Mr. Thackery retiring. They bring back some of the kids, now adults for cameo appearances including Lulu and the song "To Sir With Love". They also show a few scenes from the original movie which is a nice touch. Then he returns to Chicago to teach in an inner city school. He was hired for an honors class but decides to take a class of troublemakers. The movie does a good job of updating the movie to the United States and current problems. If you liked the original you would probably like this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Weird DVD - AWESOME Story!, Sep 28 2011

By Occasional Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: To Sir With Love II (DVD)

The DVD was one of the strangest ones I've ever seen. There was NO menu at all. The movie simply started and ended. You had to use your DVD player's options to determine the actual length (I didn't see it on the packaging). The quality of the movie was fine. Full-screen was expected since it was a made-for-TV movie.

I had forgotten much of the story since I had not seen the movie in years but it was still AWESOME! In some ways, it's even better than the original. Different kids, different culture, but same basic solution - show the kids respect and insist on respect from them! The depth of development of the kids was a bit better here than the original which is a bit surprising since the story itself was shorter.

It was, in many ways, a typical Sidney Poitier movie - good drama without resorting to a lot of unnecessary violence. Yes, there was some scuffling and even a gang fight and some shooting (no one was hit) but the impact was the drama and acting.

It's a perfect extension of the original movie and the touch of the two "kids" from the original appearing at Mr. Thackery's retirement dinner was a very touching moment. I cried when "Miss Peg" (Lulu) sang the original theme.

There is only one question - why did this take so long to appear in a DVD format?
