Notes
A fine feel good coming of age story -- While the excessive sentimentality and clichés made me twinge a bit, I found myself liking it -- Bullying is a major theme of the movie (which may be why the WWE financed it) -- I can't let pass the benign way which bullying was handled by the school -- a severe beating only resulted in a suspension when it should have been a criminal case.
