Movie Info

In this youthful drama, three 13 year olds come of age when they learn to stand up to a vicious local bully. Joey, Book and Mouth live for baseball. Joey is a superb pitcher and Book an excellent catcher while Mouth dreams of becoming Joey's agent. All three boys have less than perfect home lives, with their chief problem being that their parents are too often gone. Still, they have a good summer until Hayes, a nearly psycho bully begins tormenting them in increasingly violent ways. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

What Tolkin has going for him is a script with believable kids and the good fortune to get young actors who can convincingly play the range of emotions the story requires.
