Dangerous lives of Altar Boys I fell in love with this movie for the reason being that the story it tells of two different worlds into one, it is in such contrast, and yet collide into one giant mess. It is one of the best, in my opinion, coming-of-age story. Full of antics, and simple mischievous behavior, the four friends battle catholic school, and collaborate a comic book they call "The Atomic Trinity', using Sister Assumption the main villain, in which hey detest.
It is one epic battle after another, watching the relations of the lives of these altar boys and the lives of the comic book heroes. If you are not for cartoons, it is no worry, only parts of the comic book animations are shown, but honestly it is what I think gives this movie that magic. Based on the era of the ass's, these kids are ruthless, but yet show how raw they are in terms of hormonal teenage boys, going through change, in themselves and their friendship.It has its scenes where things get weird, but nothing wild. This independent film has had good reviews for its plot.
"The New York Times" quoted "bracingly truthful' coming-of-age film from the directional debut of Peter Care. " Also Robert Bert "gave the film two and a half stars, calling it 'an honorable film with good intentions" They say that the film has its flaws "trying too hard to impress and falls short of achieving the 'emotional payoff it is searching for. " I for one was impacted by this movie and its story.I have noticed a lot of things that were off in this movie, like in one of the scenes, s the boys ride their bikes into town, they pass an ass's café©, in a movie taken in the time setting of the ass's, although not many people could grasp the time setting of it. My love of the music genre in this movie also helped boost my interest in it. The style of the tunes complimented the rebellious teens, but was also composed by my favorite artist, Joshua Home, guitarist for the Queens of the Stone Age.
The raunchy rock, and infamous reputation of rock n' roll, shows more of the delinquents' colors.It feels timeless to watch this film, because all adolescents go through their ruthless behaviors once in a while. No matter what time period, we are all known to be trouble, and or misunderstood. These youths glorify, and yet show the consequences of stupidity as living life to the fullest and learning from our own mistakes. It shows how we as people are who we are because of how we shaped ourselves in our past.
This movie shows the lives of these boys and how they are stupidity will have a giant impact for the rest of their lives.
