Recently divorced violinist Meryl Streep accepts a substitute teacher job at an inner city NYC school. Her rowdy students, all with various problems at home, reluctantly attend her classes. She gradually wins them over with her firm, but fair, teaching methods. When funding is pulled and her class is threatened to be cancelled, she organizes a fund raising event to save it. Emotionally manipulative and entirely contrived, but it somehow managed to win me over. Several real life famous violinists appear in the finale as themselves.
