After overcoming the falsetto voice of Harland Williams (as a woman), which comes off like chalk on a blackboard, one must also make a huge leap of faith -
* To believe that a student would be unpunished for repeatedly assaulting school administrators, but expelled for having a portable TV;
* To believe that gun-toting bandits would not torture their captive with anything more a feather (for tickling his foot);
* To believe that these same gun-toting bandits would be unaware that an entire girls' field hockey team is in the same room, until they thwart them with repeated slap shots;
* To believe that when a school community learns that their headmistress is a male, a convicted felon, someone who has betrayed them, conned them, and tried to steal a $500,000 donation - that they register no surprise and beg him to stay.
The movie did have some funny lines and direction. Williams is amusing, and Shawna Waldron successfully pulls off a transition from a bratty, spoiled prep school girl to a sympathetic young woman by movie's end.
