Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Good movie but grossly overrated

Better Late Then Never

Absolutely Brilliant!

I watched this because I have a soft spot for any of the Culkin kids. IMDb listed this movie as a comedy, so when I watched it I was ready to have some light hearted laughs at a seemingly cheesy film. What started off as I expected ended up leaving me devastated. The four boys deal with the difficulties of young adult life, interest in girls, smoking and drinking, growing apart, and a fantasy world which reflects their interest in comics. (It softens the blows of their lives by mimicking it and helping them cope.) It reminds me a lot of The Virgin Suicides with the tone it sets, and almost similar to Wristcutters: A Love Story.It's definitely a good film and worth the watch as long as you understand that it isn't going to leave you happier after watching it.

I first encountered this film on a foreign TV channel and on an unknown language. However, i was attracted to the TV screen like a bee to honey. I can't really say why, but the film was just very, well, attracting. It has sort of a gloomy atmosphere, and the scenes which changed in front of my eyes were understandable even in a foreign language. It could be because i can relate with the story and the feelings that the boys are going through, but i believe that the reason is that it's just a terrific film. Of course IMDb helped me find the film :) and today it's one of my favorites films. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see a good film, but is ready to see some real life on the screen. The story isn't sweet, nor particularly happy, but it's real and emotional.

it was a great idea and i watched it with few other mates and we all guessed that there would be more than one cougar in there. we thought it was a bit extreme that the guy had to die but i thought the funeral was well done. i thought the brother and the boyf hadnt finished up their fight properly but obviously a nose bleed finishes everything and what happened to the girl who saw the ghost, was that just to prove that she wasn't totally crazy? though she was a bit mucked up... i also thought the ending was bad and how many nuns do u know hu go around on motorbikes?!?! cute main guy though... p.s. does anyone know how to change ur username? i am fed up of johnny now! p.p.s hes still gorgeous though

This film, set in the religious environment many adults grew up with tells the story of four boys, who's personal lives become intertwined with their fertile imaginations. Immitating many boys their age, they deal with personal problems and set about to enliven their dull existence with pranks. They are common enough, until they run headlong into Jodi Foster who plays their main teacher and a Catholic Nun. Their stunt of stealing the statue of the school's namesake progresses to stealing a mountain lion, which in turn initiates death. With the added concepts of visual art in comic form, the film delivers a plausible entertainment. However, the search for the reason why this film earn an "R" rating proves illusive.
