Charismatic cast, cool setting and an important topic. Integral to see the interactions and the faults of bigotry. All about respect.

Very underrated, such powerful scenes with characters you get invested with so easily. Plus what it culminates to is very well done.

I don’t really remember the story behind it but it definitely gets Brendan Frazier, Matt Damon and others a start at acting.

I love this movie! Great story, great acting, great life lessons, and touches on several social issues.

Very underrated in my opinion. Brendan Fraser puts on a great performances and the script is well-written.

Been nearly 30 years since I saw this but I do remember it as the fledgling film that made me a fan of Big Brendan! Top plot, decent cast!👌

Antisemitism in a prep school? But rich kids are known for their worldly views

Great movie worth the watch I definitely would recommend it!
