Stirring movie may be too heavy for some tweens.

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

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.

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.

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

Cinema em Cena

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.

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