Hunky Dory

Minnie Driver

OK to just sort of OK. She plays a new teacher at a Welsh high school who is staging The Tempest with modern pop music interspersed. Not a stupid idea in theory but pretty silly when actually done.

She runs into the usual hs bullshit...violence by the boys, vapidity among the girls. There have been hundreds of hs movies...this one used all the standard elements but never coalesced into a satisfying whole. MD is no longer an ingenue and seemed to be searching for a persona during the film.
