I originally watched this because Siskel and Ebert gave it an enthusiastic two thumbs up. As a young man, I identified with the characters extremely strong, knowing the guys who bullied me and many other students. I had had a pretty tough friend who sometimes would save me from beatings. The bullies respected him enough so the would occasionally back off. He wasn't there when they threw me off a two story roof into bushes. Regardless of my past, this a good movie that I will show to my cousins young boys.
