Danny De Vito is Bill Rego, a successful ad exec and father who is made unemployed when a stressful journey to work causes the loss of an important contract for the ad company. After suffering the humiliation of having to start unemployment, he is assigned a teaching post at a military base due to a master degree from University (making him an eligible teacher). The military believes if they can help recruits cut the mustard at physical aspects, they can help the lower IQ'd in the brain department as well. After the initial conflict with his class due to their varying social background and much to the resentment of their drill instructor, he starts to teach them Shakespeare (in true sarcastic DeVito style), gaining their respect along the way. Also features Mark Walhberg in an early role. A thoroughly good film, well acted and very well scripted.
