5.0 out of 5 stars A wake up call., December 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sticks & Stones [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this film on TV the other night and it was the best film i've EVER seen! I am only 13 and was a bully but this movie made me think what it's like to be on the other side. I would actuly advise this to be viewed by problem children because there is a VERY srtong message that what you do to other people can affect what they feel, how they treat others and how badly it can affect their future. I all ways knew that what I was doing was wrong but never realised how wrong until I saw this.It's great and should NOT be banned.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!!, May 25, 2002

This review is from: Sticks & Stones [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I taped 'Sticks and Stones' when it first came on TV and I still have to say that this is one of the best movies I've seen for ages. The movie is brimming with emotions, teenage angst and is bound to bring back memories if you've been bullied but it only goes to show that sometimes, the bullies are miserable people themselves and there's a reason behind their actions. I'm 16 but I think the movie is suitable for everyone because there are certain aspects we can relate to, regardless of our age. Joey (Justin Isfeld), Book (Max Goldblatt) and Mouth (Chauncey Leopardi) were very convincing as the bullied kids.
Some scenes are quite angsty and there *is* swearing but it's really not that bad! The music was cool, and it's a breath of fresh air to watch a movie that's centered on the lives of children rather than adults. When I'd finished watching this movie, I actually felt something for the characters and empathised with them,which is why I'd definitely recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must see by parents of teens, July 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sticks & Stones [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As the mother of two young teenage boys, this was an extremely hard movie for me to watch because the content is so real. That these things could and do really happen hurt me. It was a good opportunity though to talk with my boys and get their reactions on what they could do if placed in these situations. It was an excellent tool for being able to bring up violence and friendship discussions.
