Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 44 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In memory of Canadian actor Donald Sutherland (July 17th, 1935-June 20th, 2024)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Solid comedy drama. Movie nicely captures the time, place, feel, and nostalgia of going to Brooklyn Catholic school in 1965. It pushes all the right emotional buttons, Equal measure schooling, bullying, pulling pranks, smoking, drinking , hanging out at the local diner, and teen romance, With dated Catholic teachings offering counterpoint to the social events. Populated by overall decent kids, a few kind and caring clergy, And one very mean and abusive clergyman, And it was nice seeing all the young future movie stars, All scored to an early 60's soundtrack. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review John K Serving communion at the all girls school is the funniest scene ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Rory H This is a really good film - full of heart and good performances. Some people are critical of the violence depicted - but this is how the brothers liked to roll back then. It ends a bit abruptly and there was more character & story development, but this is a coming-of-age movie that stuck with me for years and years. It's bittersweet and I love it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review razvan p quite light on the theology. just a decent youth flick that promotes decent morals Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review popandroid one of the best over-looked/forgotten 80's movies. and it's not even a NO-NAME cast, they have some big names in this thing. puzzling that's it's been forgotten so quickly. I can only imagine that's because it was never properly hyped when it came out so even by 1990 is pretty quickly forgotten by most of the planet. but to me this movie belongs right next to Fast Times and all the other great high school movies, and they did a great job making it seem like it was really 1965.
