Tenure
“He's having a mid-term crisis.”
Comedy
Despite his outstanding intellect, associate professor Charlie Thurber is a chronic underachiever and has never received university tenure. Aided by his nutty best friend, Charlie launches a final effort to make the grade at Gray College. But a beautiful new teacher whose ascending star threatens to eclipse him shakes up Charlie's plans.
VIBE
This film feels like a slightly uncomfortable, yet endearing, college comedy. It's full of awkward encounters and low-stakes academic drama, with a touch of charmingly clumsy romance. Perfect for a low-key, introspective watch.
