The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys

          

The MM - "Filmed in 2000 and set in the 1970's, this coming of age movie tells the story of four friends who attend Catholic school during the day and dream of being comic book heroes by night. Filmed in the Carolinas, this film captures the innocence and complexities of youth told with a mischievous flair and a vivid imagination. Along with this movie's ability to tell a great story, this film has the unique aspect of combining animation with live action footage. Bittersweet and touching without being too sentimental "Altar Boys" is very interesting and has a refreshing feel. The delivery is straight forward yet unabrasive, with a heavy dose of originality and touch of sweet southern style."
