Rhetorical question: What's the only thing that can keep a potentially bad movie's head above water? Good actors, or course. Sure, the iDodgeball/i-esque scenes of Billy Bob Thornton viciously pegging second-graders with a basketball are chuckle-inducing (It appeals to the iAmerica's Funniest Home Videos/i lover in all of us), but the movie didn't quite live up to the promising plot. John Farley (Seann William Scott) plays a bestselling self-help author who was once a portly underachiever often bullied and terrorized by his militant (and potentially lawsuit-causing) gym teacher, Mr. Woodcock (Thornton). When he's invited to receive his Nebraska hometown's most coveted award, the corn cob key, he decides to pay his mother (Susan Sarandon) a visit. With horror, he discovers that she's planning on getting married to the sinister Mr. Woodcock. And, of course, the rest of the movie shows John's unraveling as he tries with all his might (and "corny" predictability) to stop that from happening. The movie provides some good laughs, but it's definitely on the B-list for the likes of these hilarious starring actors. --iJordan Thompson/i

 Perfect casting - great comedy! December 13, 2008
Totally Honest Reviewer (USA)
I laughed til I cried watching "Mr. Woodcock". The characters were perfectly cast. The facial expressions of the actors throughout the movie, as well as the one-liners, are what made it so funny. The dry humor of Billy Bob Thornton and Seann Scott's reactions to his character were awesome! The blu-ray quality is great. If you are ready for some good laughs, get this movie, but pay special attention to the little things, such as the facial expressions, etc. Very funny!
 Great Comedy, I dont care what they say! September 22, 2008

I thought this film was GREAT! I can't understand these other people who could only put it down. OF COURSE it was not meant to be real! It, like Bad Santa is good BECAUSE of its obvious EXAGERATION! All three main actors are GREAT, in fact EVERYTHING about this film is FUN FUN FUN!

Mr. Woodcock had such great potential but failed to deliver. There are some real heavy hitters in the cast. br / br /Billy Bob Thornton has the capacity to make any film a classic when directed properly. Although, he had his moments in this one. br / br /Susan Sarandon was probably not right for the part...OR...was right for the part if the film was executed correctly. She is a gifted and elegant actress who can make a role striking and memorable. This role was beneath her to say the least. br / br /Seann William Scott is a modern comedy genuis. He has the look, the resume and the chops to take a movie to the next level. He was also probably not right for this role. He belongs in Hollywood blockbusters, not forgettable films like Mr. Woodcock. br / br /Three terrific actors combined into one film should have been a winner but just couldn't do it. Three strikes.

At first I couldn't watch this movie. The Mr. Woodcock character was too much of an a-hole for me to bear. But then I gave the movie a chance and watched through to the end. There are some great and ridiculously funny scenes that cracked me up real good.
BAD SANTA IN THE OFF SEASON!... MILDY ENTERTAINING! August 14, 2008

OK..this year's version of Billy Bob Thornton's "Bad Santa" persona is called 'Mr. Woodcock'! A couple of years ago it was 'School For Scoundrels', if you didn't like that film you probably won't like this film either. I found it to be mildly entertaining because Thornton plays this part so well! It's not a good movie, but if it's on cable, you might want to give it a look. It's a shame because they had a potential winner here and they blew it!...too bad :-(
