You know what I miss? The Office. Thus I present to you Teacher of the Year which is like The Office. There’s a cast of “normal” but eccentric people. This movie even gives you similar replacements for your favorite characters. They even give us an obvious Dwight character who is jealous of this world’s Jim, Mitch Carter. Mitch is the main protagonist who has won the California Teacher of the Year award. Due to this prestigious win, he gets an offer that tempts him to leave this job and his students. Yup, this is really like The Office.
Teacher of the Year is directed by Jason Strouse. This comedy stars Matt Letscher and Keegan-Michael Key. It’s already been viewed at several film festivals and will be screened at the Cleaveland International Film Festival March 26th 2015. No dates for a theater release have been given as of yet.
