Claire (Judy Greer) is the overprotective single mom of teenager Liam Heap (Daniel Doheny). She is dismissive of public high schools and has been homeschooling Liam everything including sex. He is book smart and headed for Cambridge to study Astrophysics following his hero Stephen Hawking. MacKenzie (Grace Park) is a fellow homeschool mom and Autumn is her even weirder daughter. The kids are at the local high school to take the Graduation Equivalency Exam. Liam falls for public school student, the one-legged Anastasia (Siobhan Williams) and deliberately tanks his test. He pushes his way to be a temporary student taking over sick Maria Sanchez's schedule. Everyone starts calling him Maria. Claire sees this as teenage rebellion and decides to teach it as part of his curriculum. This is quirky and sometimes funny. Judy Greer is one of the best comedic actresses around. Daniel Doheny is a nice lead but he looks way too good. If anything, this needs more quirkiness. He needs to look nerdier. In general, the whole movie needs more. I love the premise but it needs to shoot for Napoleon Dynamite. There is plenty of potential of achieving that. There is a shocking surreal moment with a fetal pig well into the movie. It needs to do more and earlier or not at all. Either inanimate objects talk to him or they don't. For the students, Siobhan is a great ingenue but the others are lacking. It would have been great if Autumn joined Liam to attend high school. The gay friend needs to be more friend and less annoying. The bully needs to be more buff and younger. He looks like a 80s * star with a 70s stach. Also, there is a general use of 80s motif like an old computer and an old family car which creates an odd feel in the modern world. The off-centre camera style is also part of that. The lighting is too bright at the school. The editing needs to be sharper and quicker to add pace and quirkiness to the style. It needs to be tighter which would shorten the under ninety minutes running time. The movie needs a few more stories and that's why I would love some more from Autumn. Quite frankly, MacKenzie is fun at the party and the movie needs more of her. There are many very good parts and this works on the whole.

The only person more socially awkward then Liam is his mom, but watching his mom project on him is just cringingly funny. I loved this movie

The film is a nonsensical take on homeschooling with a good dash of the Oedipal complex (often portrayed in North American films) and features an overbearing, wanton, and abusive mother as she desperately tries to control her son and make him a man. The film is not funny and almost every directorial choice is wrong. Nebbish stuff.

Canadian film makers can usually be depended on for a whole pile more reality when it comes to Kids/teen movies. Disney has ruined entertainment for and about these demographics, but we could usually look north for relief from their drivel. This is one glaring exception. Good writing can only get you so far, and the writing of this one is admittedly pretty good.... it is a funny film. However, casting a 27 year old adult in the lead as a high school student.... hugely prevalent with Disney.... has me moving on to something else instantly. At what point did Casting think anyone would be convinced....27, really? It actually all feels more than a bit creepy.

I literally regret every minute of this movie as it's one of the WORST movies ever made. The story is horrible and lifeless. I still don't know what the point of this movie was aside from the fact the teenage boy was babied until his Senior year. Another liberal Hollywood movie trying to shove a complete moralless liberal agenda down our throats. A mom and her son getting high and getting drunk. Also, out of the blue, for now reason whatsoever, the main character says to the girl of his dreams "you women have less opportunities than men and paid less" and "white men have way more opportunities". Don't waste your time with this movie, you will regret it. A Complete Waste of Time and of my electricity

The craziness in this movie is off the scale. The chemistry is so uncomfortable for the whole movie and it makes it absolutely amazing. It's genuinely awkward. And yet it is so perfect.

This film tells the story of a very protective mother who home schools her son. Her son decides to meet friends by going to a public school. Though the film is fun and light hearted, the idea of having such a protective and controlling mother really disturbs me. Judy Greer does a good job as the mother, and Daniel Doheny is great as a shy young man. Overall, if the mother is less freakishly and disturbingly controlling, I would have liked it more.

'ADVENTURES IN PUBLIC SCHOOL': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five) A teen comedy about a socially awkward home-schooled teenager that enters public school for the first time, against his mother's wishes, in order to pursue a young woman he falls for. The film was directed by Kyle Rideout, and written by Rideout and Josh Epstein. The movie stars Daniel Doheny and Judy Greer, and it was released by Netflix through it's streaming site. I found the film to be funny and amusing enough. It's definitely nothing fresh or especially memorable, but I had a good time watching it still.

They go on about white privileged too much. Apart from that it's not bad, the Mum gets a bit annoying in it.

This film was just a brilliant piss take of the way society portrays homeschooled kids. It took the fairly stereotypical notion that homeschooled kids are socially awkward and don't know anything worldly and life is always a 'teachable moment' and ran with it. It was OTT and hysterical. In fact all the characters were great. His mom was cringingly, shockingly and funnily overstepping boundaries all over the place. You could still see and feel the underlying love and connection though. His principal was OTT inappropriate and I loved his no filter but it fitted with the obvious satire of the whole film and I just found it funnier and more ludicrous. The more she tried to 'teach' him the crazier it became, from blazing up in the school car park of all places, leaving him with a condom in the dark and timing him, to taking him to some random party to experience college parties. The whole film was just great and funny and ridiculous!! Thoroughly enjoyable and not an accurate depiction of homeschooling at all. Reminded me of Wanderlust a bit with its piss take of hippies!!
