Robin Williams stars as an English teacher who doesn't fit into the
conservative prep school where he teaches but his charisma and love
of poetry inspires several boys to revive a secret society with a
bohemian bent. The script is well-meaning but a little trite,
though director Peter Weir (The Truman Show) adds layers of
emotional depth in scenes of conflict between the kids and adults.
(A subplot involving one father's terrible pressure on his
son--played by Robert Sean Leonard--to drop his interest in the
theatre reaches heartbreaking proportions). Williams is given
plenty of latitude to work in his brand of improvisational humour,
though it is all well-woven into his character's style of
instruction.
