It's for those who lack confidence and have been bullied about, and its teacher, Billy Bob Thornton converts the bullied into the bully. The victim becomes the scoundrel, the hunted the hunter, the fisherman becomes the food for the fish. I'm sure you get the gist.

So to build up his self-esteem and strengthen his self confidence he signs up for a course taught by Dr. P (Billy Bob Thornton). In the class Jon is traumatized even more and strange methods are employed to make men out of him and his classmates, including further bullying and humiliation!
But soon Jon gets his mojo, he finds his groove and changes so much that he becomes serious competition for his teacher as both try to woo the same girl. The student and the teacher fight it out on who is a better scoundrel!
Now isn't that some plot (does it remind you a bit about Whiplash?... Whiplash was a far superior movie, but this wasn't bad either)
I found the plot quite different. I wished there was such a school in real life, I have a few directors and producers I wish to stand up to. But sigh, this is fiction, very good fiction but fiction nevertheless. So watch this and you can fantasise about bullying the bully...
School for Scoundrels
