Runt

Loads of stereotypes. Picked on/bullied h.s. Student in stereotypical ways (e.g. Pranks; being harassed in & out of class) by the usual several football players. The usual he likes the unattainable girl. The usual dumb (and not realistic) teachers/administrators not aware of bullying. The usual in principle's office and, of course, denial of bullying with the usual football coach saying that the accused players futures are at jeopardy if they fail classes. The usual bullying & reprisal escalates in an unrealistic way (for some reason school surveillance cameras & police never consulted). The usual football coach acting over-the-top tough. Film dedicated to the memory of Cameron Boyce, Christian Van Gregg, yet, oddly, I can find no info indicating a Van Gregg passing.

So slow it is painful... the story is an old one and has been told told told... and the acting is as bad as the last Eastwood movie. With so much out there these days... a waste of time really.

This was a pretty good effort as far as the acting went but wow, what a disappointing ending. The rest of the movie was ok, the shots were good, the script was not bad and the kids were believable in their roles but that ending just ruined it for me :( 5/10.

Its a good movie, i actually liked it. The main actor is the cute freckled boy from mirrors. Good acting. The teenage girlfriend needs acting classes.

A familiar trip down the coming-of-age high school lane with a few smatterings of good acting and a unique modern-day take on latch-key kids. Brianna Hildebrand, Cameron Boyce (may he RIP), and Jason Patric all work hard and do an admirable job of selling the story. However, even though Coakley paints a lot of pretty dots he couldn't connect them to make something cohesive and satisfying leaving many unresolved loose ends leaving the viewer wondering what this movie was even about.
