A composer puts his lofty ambitions on hold to become a high school music teacher in Portland, Oregon, from 1965-1995. Glenne Headly plays his wife, Jay Thomas the coach, Olympia Dukakis the principal and William H. Macy the irritating vice principal. The film is a good school-oriented drama that's episodic in nature since it spans 30 years, but its themes and topics worthy of reflection, including the importance of teaching and mentoring.
