Product Description:
WHEN A JEWISH TEENAGER IS RECRUITED BY AN ELITE NEW ENGLAND PREP SCHOOL TO AID THEIR STRUGGLING FOOTBALL TEAM, HE IS ACCEPTED UNTIL HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE REVEALED. AFTER MUCH RIDICULE & SCORN, HIS DESIRE FOR ACCEPTANCE IS REPLACED BY HIS NEED TO DEFEND HIS IDENTITY AND HERITAGE AS A YOUNG JEWISH MAN.
Amazon.com:
Brendan Fraser plays a student attending a wealthy boarding school on a football scholarship in the 1950s. When the other kids find out he's Jewish--a fact he's been hiding--his fortunes and relationships instantly change. The film is pretty much what one would expect with that scenario: a story of bigotry, conflict, the hero trying to hang on. In the end, good intentions are the driving force of the movie, but it is not much more than the sum of its obvious parts. Directed by Dick Wolf, creator of television's Law and Order. --Tom Keogh

The Bottom Line:
School Ties sometimes feels episodic and not all of its scenes work (the bit with the evil French teacher falls particularly flat) but the core of the film is an interesting and well-told story about a Jewish boy in a Christian prep school; rarely less than engaging, if not riveting, it's a decent film.

Watch this movie, and then talk about it with people whom you respect. When the movie ends, we realize the story isn't really over. Cinematically this forces us to question what's going to happen next, and should beg discussion by the audience.
If you read the other reviews (especially the negative reviews) before watching this movie you'll probably wonder how this seemingly formulaic prep-school movie could be as good as it is. Well, here's the answer: the movie was not meant to ... Read More

This is a very fine movie,well acted, once one clears the initial premise:imagine a strict Catholic Prep School of the 1950's admitting anyone who wasn't Catholic regardless of his football prowess.Once past that hurdle, it's clear sailing for the viewer.Fraser,as expected, lives up to his reputation on the field and in the classroom, and also steals Damon's girlfriend. Damon comes from a long line of Harvard graduates,and in succession is forced to play "second fiddle" to Fraser on the ... Read More
