Badgers....

Warning: Spoilers
Gregory is back at his old school, teaching English. When two of his pupils uncover evil practices at a local factory they want their teacher to help them expose the wrong-doer, who happens to be Greg's old schoolfriend.

Trapped between his idealism and breaking the law while trying to choose between two girls - one a schoolgirl and the other a full-blooded woman - Gregory still has some growing up to do.....

The first movie was a treat, a real boys own movie about growing up lusting after the girl you'll probably never have a chance with. It was a firm favourite of mine whilst I was at school, and its never really gotten out of date.

So Forsythe decided to make a sequel, and with he end result, you can probably understand why he hasn't made a film since. Its strangely watchable, but when it comes to it, Gregory is nothing more than a pervert, lusting after school children, which in all fairness ruins any elements of comedy.

There is a really silly subplot, involving Dougray Scott and his torturing computers, and again its a daft maguffin, only used to get Gregory closer to Frances.

It all ends on a depressing note, knowing that Gregory's career is now in tatters, and will probably end in prison.

Should comedies leave you with that after thought?
