Nickelodeon's''''Gym Teacher: The Movie'''' is a Nickelodeon [[Made for TV Movie]]'' starring surprisingly A-list actors (Christopher Meloni from ''[[Law and Order SVU]]'', [[Amy Sedaris]] and others from ''[[Strangers with Candy]]''). Meloni plays Dave Stewie, a gym teacher (duh) who hopes to chase away an [[Old Shame]] by winning "Gym Teacher of the Year". To do that, he needs a fully-polished and capable class, which he has until incredibly uncoordinated [[New Transfer Student]] Roland Waffle arrives. Oh, and the hot teacher Dave has a crush on turns out to be Roland's mom. [[Strictly Formula]] here, to the point where the costume design, particularly Roland's helmet and the school's ham mascot, is the most creative part of the whole movie.
