Mr. Woodcock (Billy Bob Thornton Billy Bob Thornton) is a famous hell teacher. He spoke harshly and sharply, and the wailing of the students never stopped in the bishop's PE class. This is enough to make Mr. Woodcock cast a big shadow in the hearts of the children. Today, one of the students, John (Sean William Seann William Scott), has grown up and published a best-selling novel based on the suffering PE classes of his student days. To promote the schedule of the new book, John takes the time to return to his scenic hometown to visit his mother Beverly (Susan Sarandon Susan Sarandon). He is delighted that people in the town spoil him. However, a thunderbolt came one after another, and Beverly fell in love with his old enemy, Mr. Woodcock, and the two even talked about marriage. This worried John so much that he decided to stop this absurd thing. John must first put aside the promotion of the book sale and wholeheartedly ruin his mother's unreliable marriage. However, it is not the same thing to fight against Mr. Woodcock.
