(* 1/2): Predictable and laughably bad throughout.

Shout is an entertaining and touching film. It is about a new teacher who works a West Texas home for wayward boys in 1955. John Travolta and Jamie Walters give amazing performances. The script is well written. Jeffrey Hornaday did a remarkable directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the music and drama.
