I'm an elementary school teacher in WA state. Saw "Won't Back Down" this past weekend; thought it was a good movie overall, including being inspiring, but I had a few problems with it. For example, it came across as too anti-union and anti-school administration. I thought it was great how Viola Davis' character turned around her attitude and effort towards her job, and was very realistic as a somewhat-burned out teacher who got re-inspired. While I'm not familiar with educational laws in Pennsylvania, the main premise of the movie isn't possible in most states. But overall, it had good acting and an inspiring storyline, and I'm glad I saw it.

All parents, teacher and those without children should go and see this heart felt movie. Two parents and a teacher to reach out and fix something that is so wrong and they want to make it right for the children. We all need to do this, have faith, trust and HOPE to make thing work for all of us.

execellent movie a must see, just great and the actors and actresses were the best so important and such a needed message for today that together as parents and grandparents "WE CAN MAKE A Difference. Overall Great Movie

It can be seen two ways. One - against the unions, or two - for children. The basic message is fight for childrens future. It's also a good movie that made me reflect on why I do the work I do. A teacher, doctor, accountant, anyone... do you do the work you do for the money or for your passion?

If you look at the history of public schools prior to charter schools, you will find a failed institution. Be grateful for the innovation of Charter Schools - some have proven success and are in the top 10 schools in the nation. The movie was excellent!
