WOW, I remember this film as a kid but it's easily been over 20+ years since I've seen it, and I couldn't believe how good it was!! The cast is amazing, the direction is fantastic, and the story is one that I'm sure most guys can relate to! It's hilarious, I was cracking up so many times, especially the book report, OMG, dying! And in actuality, it's not really a Bully vs Wimp story, It has so much more going for it and it has a great , rewarding outcome for all parties involved, including Buddy!

Absolute perfection at 10 out of 10 and I will definitely make this part of my collection! Anyone else just LOVE this movie or perhaps rediscovered it recently??

I just saw a scene in a Watchmojo video about bully. I totally forgot this film !!!! And then when I saw the title in french I was like ''God !! I was watching it everytime* it was on tv!!'' Got to get it on DVD !

I just watched it for the first time today and it's my favorite high school movie. Not even Breakfast Club or Fast Times at Ridgemont High could capture the feeling this film gave me. It really took me back to high school.

Absolutely!!! Those films are great and all, but this film really took me back there too! And it really makes you experience what it was like through a "normal kid". Not some uber geek, or ultra cool surfer dude, just a regular kid in school who gets put into a crazy situation. That's where it really excels for me!
