A pretty good take on the whole "coming-of-age" storyline that has been done time and time before. Great casting as Emile Hirsch and Kieran Culkin are great as the best friends who raise hell in their Catholic School. Likewise Jodie Foster is excellent as the nun who gives them grief and Jena Malone is outstanding as the romantic interest with a troubled soul. The animation snippets were kind of strange, but lent themselves well to the story. Overall, a good movie.

This is a great teenage movie about two teenage boys lives in a Catholic school. They rebel against the nuns, draw sleazy cartoons, and one boy meets a girl... I really enjoyed this movie, as Emile Hirsch did a good performance, as did Jodie Foster. But, the only this I didn't like was the little snippets of animated characters. Even though it showed what the people of the movie were going through, in a different form, I have never like anime. If you are a teenage boy, you will love this movie, and even though I am not, I still loved it!
