The course's title takes on much more meaning when he discovers that he and his egomaniacal professor Dr. P (Billy Bob Thornton) both love the beautiful woman. They begin a fierce rivalry that quickly spirals out of control, their pranks and insults get uglier as they try to prove who is the ultimate guy's guy.

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      School for Scoundrels squanders its talented cast with a formulaic, unfocused attempt at a romantic comedy that's neither romantic nor funny.

      Brian Tallerico UGO You might want to sign up for study hall instead. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) The comic sallies and set-pieces are very much at the wrong end of the bang-whimper spectrum. Rated: 2/5 Feb 23, 2007 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Wearily spins straw out of its none-too-original premise. Feb 23, 2007 Full Review Toni Vall Cinemanía (Spain) More goofy than caustic. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Joshua Starnes ComingSoon.net School for Scoundrels has some solid opportunities for real dark comedy, but blows most of them for maudlin romantic-comedy tripe, and the ones it does go for it never takes far enough. Rated: 6/10 Mar 30, 2011 Full Review Jane Boursaw Common Sense Media Dismal comedy about nerds trying to be cool. Rated: 1/5 Jan 1, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
