More notable perhaps for a roster of future stars and Oscar winners than for its unexceptional plot, this well executed film nevertheless has its charms.

A solid movie about anti-semitism that is most noteworthy because of it's now famous cast.

...works due mostly to some fine performances and a well-paced script.
02/16/03
Though well-intentioned as a message picture, the film is too schematic and predictable, and ultimately may be more significant in featuring a new cohort of actors, including Brandon Frazer, Chris O'Donnell, Matt Damon, and others.

A very good film.

The boys put in fine performances but sadly the script lacks the depth of what could have been a challenging story.

Sensível e envolvente, o filme aborda o anti-semitismo (e o preconceito, de forma geral) através de uma história simples, mas eficaz. É surpreendente como Brendan Fraser pode ser um ótimo ator, quando assim deseja.

Director Robert Mandel, best known for the flashy techno-thriller F/X, brings a surprisingly sensitive touch to this earnest story of intolerance.

Top CriticIt's not often that a predictable script is turned into a worthwhile movie, but in the case of School Ties it has happened.

School Ties is surprisingly effective.

Top CriticWell-intentioned (and only occasionally mawkish) tale of college-boy anti-semitism.
