Ratings and reviews

I have never seen this movie nor heard of it until this week. So decided to watch it tonight and man of course it was fantastic. The casting was excellent and the story was brilliant. It's sad to think that there are schools like this in the US to this day that kids miss out on great experience in education. Hope others watch this movie such as myself. Definitely worth a watch. RIP Joe Clark.

One of the great movies when I was a kid, not knowing how powerful a true story can b until I grew up. A good reminisce

This is one of the best movies.I watch it in 2006.
