George McKenna: Son, you threatened a teacher. Now what do you expect me to do? Make believe nothing happened?
Robert Norris: Showing no movie ain't teaching.
George McKenna: Well then you come to me. That's what I'm here for. Now I'll talk to Mr. Goodman.
Robert Norris: Yeah?
George McKenna: Yeah.
Robert Norris: It's gonna be just like the rest of them.
George McKenna: Son, don't lay that humble on me.
Robert Norris: I ain't jiving you.
George McKenna: Yes you are. Now you're suspended for two days for threatening a teacher. There's no excuse for that.
Robert Norris: My momma's gonna kill me!
George McKenna: Well, then you'll think twice about it next time, won't you? That's all.
This film, directed by Eric Laneuville (The Client List), stars Denzel Washington (Fences), Lynn Whitfield (Eve's Bayou), Akosua Busia (The Color Purple), James Allen Preston (A Few Good Men), and Ken Sagoes (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4).
The cinematography is a bit rough, and the film sometimes feels like an extended after-school special. The storyline is predictable, with formulaic transitions and character arcs. The background music and closing montage are classic 80s fare, which adds to the nostalgic charm. Seeing a young Denzel Washington in action was a treat, and his interactions with his wife provided some unexpectedly funny moments. While the film is sad in many ways, the closing narration is particularly well-done and leaves a lasting impression.
In conclusion, Hard Lessons isn't groundbreaking but is carried by Denzel Washington's strong performance. I'd rate it 6/10 and recommend it only with the appropriate expectations.
