Three students kidnap a diabolically mean teacher in a scheme to--oh, who cares. What should have been a sly, dark comedy by teen Scream king Kevin Williamson winds up a lax and lifeless effort, despite a few bright spots. Katie Holmes and Barry Watson are fun to look at as the teens, and Helen Mirren is chillingly evil as Mrs. Tingle. Unfortunately, they don't have enough to work with to save this from being a bit on the boring side.
