I AM TAKEN PHYSICS AND THERE WERE SOME ERRORS IN THIS MOVIE FOR EXAMPLE: At the party, Casey states that "velocity times momentum equals acceleration". This is false; velocity multiplied by momentum yields only mv2, which is just kinetic energy multiplied by two. This isn't an expression for acceleration, and is not fundamentally meaningful. In fact, force divided by mass equals acceleration.

In this Bing Crosby plays an egotistic songwriter who hasn't written a musical for years. Charles Coburn is his producer. Bing's main problem is that he's lazy and would rather be golfing than writing so Charles hires a strict student (Nancy Olson) as his secretary. Other than the supporting role in Sunset Boulevard, this was of the few chances Nancy got to shine on the screen. She plays the stern girl effectively. Robert Stack is good as an annoying energetic jock who is interested in Nancy...only she's in love with Bing. Bing sings two versions of the song Love is Peculiar, one with Peggy Lee, another with Groucho Mark. It's interesting to see how the same song can be so different.
A good 2.5 movie, rounded up to 3.

I expected this movie to be funny, however it raised my expectations. It had me laughing, crying, and awwing many seens...Truly a must see!!! Four thumbs up in my part! I think Heigle and Gerard Butler were such an unsual match, but complimented each other. You could actually feel their chemistry as though it was real!!!!

This book is a great read for anyone involved in the education system and wants to make a change. This book has tremendous impact for secondary schools and can be a great tool and resource for high school reform. It was fast-paced and thought-provoking - hopefully others will have some food for thought and work towards changing our education system!
