Guidance

Directed by Pat Mills

Fabricating credentials to score a last-ditch job as a high school guidance counsellor, a boozing, drug-addled former child star becomes an improbable hit with his students by dispensing the worst advice possible.
Guidance is a darkly funny Canadian comedy about a deeply dysfunctional former child actor who becomes a school counsellor despite being spectacularly unqualified. Pat Mills’ abrasive performance drives the film, and beneath the outrageous behaviour lies a sharp satire of self-deception and adulthood.
