    Can't find it anywhere.

    I was an extra in this movie when I was 14 and I've always wanted to see it. At the time of filming they were calling it "The Prep" if I remember correctly. Never got to see it in theaters and now it's impossible to find a copy. I've been looking for years for a VHS tape, a DVD, download link or streaming, and nothing. It's the only movie I've ever been in and I'd really like to see it someday. If anyone has a copy please let me know!

    Best movie never seen.

    I truly enjoyed this movie during it's debut in theaters. I actually saw it four times when it was in theaters. Academy Boyz was not only very entertaining, but a clean, wholesome, family friendly picture. It can not find this movie anywhere online, dvd, or video. There is barely any evidence of this movie's existence! This is very disappointing because it was really a great film. Great storyline, great plot, and very relatable. I hope that some day this film will be re-released for the public to enjoy.
