Take every bad comedy you’ve seen this year, bunch them together, shake them, and whatever falls out is the cast of a movie called Lower Learning. It stars Eva Longoria and Jason Biggs as teachers at the world’s worst elementary school. They’re about to be shut down because, as Rob Corddry points out in the red band trailer below, their kids are “pretty much retarded.”
Despite being red banded, the trailer is actually, in addition to being completely unfunny, rather harmless. Besides the aforementioned retard joke nothing of any note happens until the last ten seconds when a teacher curses at a kid and two tykes discuss injecting themselves with what we can only assume is some form of heroin. I wonder if that had anything to do with earning the red band label? Please, don’t think edgy, pre-teen drug use means it’s good. This may be the worst movie trailer you’ll see all year. But then you knew that was a possibility when I told you that it starred Jason Biggs.
If you’re over 18, watch the Red Band trailer below and write your congressman now, before Lower Learning gets a release date.
