Just wanted to see Hayden...

Hayden Panettiere is as charming and likable as ever, but when the character disappears, she pretty much does as well. Fans who watch The Good Student because of her top billing and front-and-center placement on the box art will be disappointed by her limited screen time here. Other than that the film wasn't great but wasn't all that bad, much like a lot of films were released in 2006 lol. It was nostalgic and fit in with what I would have enjoyed back in high school, however that was a different time and it didn't age well to 2025 lol, I probably would have given it two stars if Hayden Panettiere wasn't in it lol.
