Featured review
When there is no "competition," there is no such thing as cheating.
I am not normally one to post a review unless its a movie I hate (check out my review of Titanic), but after reading some ignorant reviews posted by people who have obviously never had to live in the type of environment that these kids had to, I decided to put things into perspective. I, myself, live in an empoverished area full of minorities. Poverty + Minorities = no one giving a rats ass about you. What these kids did was far more important than a simple academic decathlon, what they did was throw a brick through the window of the owner's box.
When you pit the rich against the poor, the rich will always win. There is no competition. And where there is no competition, there is no cheating.
Anyone who believes that this film glorifies dishonesty and deceit is part of the problem.
