Sticks & Stones (1996)

Great Movie

This movie is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It was sad, but it's good because it shows kids (& anyone) how it feels when you are bullied. This was just a movie, but this really happens to kids everywhere around the world. I would reccomend this movie to anyone. Great movie. May 29, 2008

a must see movie

I bought this movie only after i read the reviews in this section. I have to admit this movie was the best i have seen in a very long time. The story had something for everyone. The bullies Can see how their actions affect other people. The adults can see what happens when they put their work before their families. The kids see what happens when they work together to solve a problem. And if the older siblings let their younger siblings alone there would be less violence. This movie shows all the angles from everyone's perspective. The bully who he himself is abused at home. The older kids who push the younger ones away. And the adults who are to busy to notice that their kids. Are carrying a gun luckally it turns out for the best in the end. January 29, 2003

One of the best!!

I taped 'Sticks and Stones' when it first came on TV and I still have to say that this is one of the best movies I've seen for ages. The movie is brimming with emotions, teenage angst and is bound to bring back memories if you've been bullied but it only goes to show that sometimes, the bullies are miserable people themselves and there's a reason behind their actions. I'm 16 but I think the movie is suitable for everyone because there are certain aspects we can relate to, regardless of our age. Joey (Justin Isfeld), Book (Max Goldblatt) and Mouth (Chauncey Leopardi) were very convincing as the bullied kids.
Some scenes are quite angsty and there *is* swearing but it's really not that bad! The music was cool, and it's a breath of fresh air to watch a movie that's centered on the lives of children rather than adults. When I'd finished watching this movie, I actually felt something for the characters and empathised with them,which is why I'd definitely recommend it. May 25, 2002

Do not buy this movie

This has to be one of the worst films I have seen. I was appauled by the amount of swearing that was involved with this movie, I was hoping to show it my kids but was shocked. Also, shame on Kirstie Alley ang Gary Busey for starring in this terrible film. February 16, 2002
