Strong Island Boys

This Schiffer guy is a real genius! The movie is of excellent quality and both entertaining and educating.

I didn't know what a weather girl was before I learned it here.

They filmed this movie out on long Island, where I grew up. My brother and his girlfriend were extras in this movie. Apparently there is some party scene where they are all drinking beer, (which they told me was colored water, tasted disgusting, and was very hard to keep swallowing over and over again, especially in the funnel scenes). Yet none of us ever heard of the movie being released anywhere in any form. It never came out in the theaters (obviously) and it, as far as I knew, was never released on video, and I'm sure wasn't released on DVD. Yet it looks like it was seen by some people, albeit it probably very few. So there must be something. I would absolutely love to purchase this for my brother, yet there is no way I can find it anywhere. Does anybody know anything about when/where/how this movie could be purchased? And which format that would be?

It was a decent movie, one of those coming of age films, it had its funny moments, wasn't anything super special the kid starts messing with steroids and loses (then gets back) his misfit crew of friends, which include a kid that always carries a crowbar for some reason, another kid who thinks his older brother is THE BEST at everything (while everyone just says hes fat *his older brother not him*), I forgot a lot about it but it was a decent film and I'd watch it again if it ever got released, which I seriously doubt it will :/

I caught this movie on my local movie channel, and i rather enjoyed watching the film. It has all the elements of a good teen film, and more - this film, aside from dealing with boys-girls relationships and sex and the like, also deals with the issue of steroid use by young people.

The film has that real-life feel to it - no loud music, no special effects and no outrageous scenes - which, for this movie, was right. That feel makes it easy to relate to the characters in the film - some of which we probably know from where we live.

Overall, a good movie, fun to watch.

8/10

I saw this movie in 97 at its premiere. I doubt it has been seen by anyone, anywhere other than that. It is a personal story, told by the director/writer/producer at the expense of the audience who could care less about the characters or their struggles. I don't know who financed this garbage, but hopefully they will not put money into any more ventures by independant directors. They could invest their money in better ways.
