The main protagonist of the movie is Mr Garrett otherwise known as "OG". He is an English teacher from a middle-upper class background, who pretends he is down with the kids and has a working class background to make him look more "cool" or "respected" in front of all the students. He is also not respected by other teachers because its been rumored that he has taken bribes before from students and does not have any control of the class.
Throughout the film, the primary story-line is Mr Garrett's struggle as a teacher and how he is looked down by everyone in the school, and is only still there because his mother is the governor of the school. Their are other mini sub plots to the film, like the students struggling with the education but they are not explored as much as Mr Garrett's story.
The film is targeted for teenage audiences and young teachers because in secondary school, around 60% of the students are teenagers, and a lot of teachers who both teach students, or who are teaching assistants. Another group of people this film is aimed at is people on the left wing side of the political spectrum. The reason being for this is because what also is shown in the movie is people who are considered more liberal are laughing at others on the right wing side of the political spectrum.
