Plot: Charles Purpura scribed this semi-autobiographical tale about his experiences in a Brooklyn Catholic school of 1965. The film focuses on several Catholic school boys who get into ever increasing amounts of trouble with the presiding priests of the Catholic school, St. Basil's. Andrew McCarthy plays Michael Dunn, a newly arrived student who latches onto the class egghead Caesar (Malcolm Danare), who is constantly picked on by the class bully Rooney (Kevin Dillon). Rooney intimidates Michael and Caesar to become his erstwhile chums and, along with a few other quiet students, they receive corporal punishment for minor infractions, disrupting communion and confession and, ultimately, their antics inspire changes in the strict school hierarchy. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

I am a big fan of movies in general, so I was ecstatic when I found this movie on amazon. I hadn't seen it, but thought that the previews were promising. If you're struggling to decide whether to buy it or not, do it. This is absolutely one of my favorite movies now. Aside from the thrill of seeing a very young Patrick Dempsey, this may be Andrew McCarthy's (St. Elmo's fire, Pretty in Pink) best 80s role. Very funny, very entertaining, very genuine. There is a nice balance in this coming-of-age film.

AS I could not watch Blonde, I thought that I would not be able to watch the other American DVD. I am going to try to adapt my machine to American DVDs.

Non-Catholic Point of View
Added 6/3/2008

This movie remains one of my favorites. I am not Catholic so I have no way to reference anything to do with the faith or can't really relate to what it is like going to a Catholic school. I do remember, however, what it was like to be a teenager and what it was like to be a little rebellious. I think this movie does a good job capturing the sprit of youth. It has some funny moments. It has some serious moments. It has a good story.
