Dangerous Minds -- When an ex-Marine (Michelle Pfeiffer) turns to teaching high school English to a chaotic class of tough minority students, she becomes involved in their personal problems while showing them that poetry offers practical insights in facing life's struggles. Director John N. Smith's fact-based story stresses uplifting themes about staying in school and rejecting despair but the slick script rarely rises beyond shallow characterizations and pat solutions. Brief violence, some sexual references and much crude slang and rough language. (A-III) (R) 1995
