High schooler Angus (Charlie Talbert), a jumbo-sized lad, seems underappreciated in all aspects of his life: he is a standout offensive lineman on the football team, but golden-boy quarterback Rick (James Van der Beek) gets all the accolades for his blood, sweat, and pass-blocking; he is also an outstanding student, but his classmates still regard him as a dork; the girl of his dreams (Arian Richards), Rick's girlfriend, seems to ignore him. Only when Angus musters the courage to put on a maroon

For a movie that extols the virtues of being different, Angus is a frustratingly ordinary story of a high-school underdog: a chow hound in puppy love.
quite heartwarming
Considering how uunusal the film's family setting is--a boy growing up with gay dad and lesbian mother--and talent caliber (George C. Scott and Kathy Bates), Angus is a particularly disappointing film due to pedestrian writing and straight direction.
A plodding, teen cookie-cutter "nerds are people too" story. Hamfisted and dull.
Family-Friendly and uplifting story for any underdog
I think this movie is really funny. Love the quirkiness of the friendship.
