Summary of Lower Learning
Jason Biggs (MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL) and Eva Longoria Parker (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES) star in this comedy about Geraldine Ferraro Elementary, a school which doesn't receive a passing grade. Lorded over by Principal Billings (Rob Corddry, THE DAILY SHOW), the school is a mess: school-sanctioned boxing matches are a regular occurrence, Principal Billings takes bribes for higher grades, and the teachers are anti-social at best and foul-mouthed at worst. An inspector (Longoria Parker) isn't happy with what she sees, so she teams up with the vice principal (Biggs) to try to save the school. This irreverent R-rated comedy also stars Monica Potter (BOSTON LEGAL) and Will Sasso (MAD TV).
