Title: Sappy, Vapid, and a Little Creepy
Product review: OK, let's see. Mr. Holland is a neglectful, sullen, and resentful father, who diminishes his son because of his deafness, and neglects his wife in favor of his obsession with completing his decidedly mediocre "opus." He also develops an inappropriate relationship with a female student; while there may not have been physical contact, he also obsesses on her, and actually entertains the idea of running off to New York with her. Later, forced out of teaching (maybe due to his attitude problem?) his alumni all gather for a tribute concert, where the opus is revealed in all of its unfortunate banality. Sorry, this one just wasn't for me.
