The Professor

The film goes down easy because it saves the self-improvement clichés for the homestretch.

There’s nothing wrong with a little cheese in a message about life, it’s just that with The Professor there's nothing more to it.

Despite a tone that oscillates between quirkish and mawkish, it’s yet another warmed-over male midlife crisis movie, given supposedly higher stakes because the middle of life will be as far as this male will get.

The movie, which comes off strangely wide-eyed about such “outré” things as marijuana and same-sex attraction, evokes some 1970s-era George Segal vehicle as it struggles to pair hip defiance with come-to-Jesus-style pathos, the latter of which provides a few of the film’s more compelling moments.

It’s never a good thing when a film about a dying man sometimes has us wondering if some of the people in his life will be better off without him.

Depp’s turbocharged archness is basically the whole show.

From its rigid, symmetry-inclined compositions to its heavily worked one-liners, this is cautious, stifling filmmaking in thrall to a reckless, retrograde man, who does little in the course of 90 minutes to merit great fascination or pathos.

This one of the best acting of Jhonny Depp, so real so intense, only 37?? something wrong with te critics.

jest to dobry, ale zarazem ciężki film... główną rolę gra depp i jak najbardziej się w niej sprawdza.

English professor (Johnny Depp) trying to enjoy in his few months after being diagnosed with fatal cancer, he decides to release his suppressed desires and gets into a spiral of social, sexual and professional misbehavior, besides being more honest and careless with the surrounding people. It's an inspired story that let you think deeply about how you must value your life and do whatever you like without thinking of peoples' impressions and reactions, be yourself and don't pretend to be someone you're not. Actually, "The Professor" is a good movie, great performance by Johnny as usual, but still there are some missing parts that could make "The Professor" a great movie.

(Mauro Lanari) Johnny Deep stages what's left of his private and acting life by adopting for his autobiopic a hybridization of the cancer movie with the college film, divided into six chapters, cinematically unnecessary (every topic has already been treated, and much better, in previous works with other directors and other protagonists), but profitable in the presence of avid fans of the two mentioned subgenres.

An useless movie with miscast johnny depp. Its just a copy from hank moody of californication
