The Worst Film Ever

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Admirable film.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The problem is, these movies are so predictable. It's like these people want to remake "The Bad Seed" over and over again. This kid isn't even scary but is breathtakingly annoying. The object of his obsession, a young woman with a little daughter, is so clueless as to how to get rid of him that it boggles the viewer's mind.Frightening? No, because it's predictable. This movie has been made, remade, and made yet again.

Marc Marut is convincingly creepy as the young (13 or 14-year-old) paperboy who has a crush/mother fixation. The kid is eerie, especially when he gets excited and his voice squeaks. The movie is interesting and moves along pretty well yet, for this genre, it's standard fare; nothing exceptional.I might have rated it higher had it not contained yet another example of Hollywood's prejudice against Christianity. Here again we get the message that the kid was nuts because his "strict, religious" mother made him that way. That has become a standard film cliché to explain insanity. Other than that, there was little offensive material, including language.

An average almost "okay" thriller about a depraved/perverted young boy (Johnny) that is obsessed with a hot single mother. In order to get her love, Johnny makes friends with her young daughter, kills her mother, kills his own father!, an old lady that knows about his past, and tries to kill's her boyfriend. What a disgusting guy but at least he can say he tried EVERYTHING to have a real family.We learn that Johnny is an abused child and that he needs help desperately after being suspect of his mother's death. So we have character development unlike other movies like this. The dialogs aren't the most clever I must say but still work for this movie.If you enjoy movies where the "villain" or killer is a boy, then "Paperboy" is a must see for you. The actor who plays Johnny is very good in his role and manages to make the audience hate him! He's annoying, a liar, pervert, and you end up hating him. Good job. In fact, it's the kind of movie that makes you feel good when things go wrong to the bad guy.I'm disturbed by one scene in particular, i don't know if it was edited for t.v. but , does Johnny masturbates after hearing that Alexandra Paul's character is about to have sex with her boyfriend? I didn't understand the scene very well but one thing for sure is that Johnny is a very sick boy.Oh give this movie a try if you're an avid lover of B-thrillers. "The Paperboy" delivers expectations but I would wait for it to air on t.v. or cable instead of wasting money on it's rental price.

First, from the looks of things this movie was an actual theater release which is a bit surprising. It looks and feels like a made for television movie, when I first saw it on USA network I thought it was a movie they made. Second, why is it listed as a horror movie? It is not very horrific at all. It is a rather mild thriller about a crazy paper boy who becomes really attached to this mother and daughter, so much so that he does everything in his power to make them like him. If anyone tries to warn the mother, then he deals with them. Here is a movie where you just want to beat the snot out of the stalker character; it drives you crazy at what he gets away with. It also makes me glad I don't have a person that likes me that much. Sure some days I wish a gal would form some sort of crush on me, but then you see some of the possible results of such an unhealthy obsession. All in all though this movie is not good, and it is not bad. It is just a mediocre thriller worth a look see if you see it on the television.
