Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

The son (Chris Makepeace) of a hotel manager (Martin Mull) finds himself the target of the school bully (Matt Dillon, in his breakthrough movie role). So he makes an offer to a school outcast--the biggest kid in class (Adam Baldwin), who reputedly has actually killed someone. He'll pay him to be his bodyguard against the bully. But the business arrangement turns into friendship, even as the smaller boy learns his new friend's secret shame. The first film by director-producer Tony Bill, this one comes down a little too heavily on the feel-good notes (and includes a gratingly precious appearance by Ruth Gordon in her lovable eccentric mode) but works because of strong performances by its young cast. --Marshall Fine

Product Description

After years of being sheltered in private school, Clifford Peache (Chris Makepeace) finds life difficult at his new Chicago high school where a tough-talking bully (Matt Dillon) and his pals regularly extort students lunch money. Refusing to pay up, Peache hires a bodyguard-the intimidatingly large class misfit (Adam Baldwin) whose rumored violent behavior is legendary. Though everyone else is afraid of him, Peache strikes up a friendship with the troubled loner. Their deepening relationship and unified stand against the thugs manages to rouse the entire school.

... When I saw the My Bodyguard DVD ...I thought what the hell. I got home and was genually moved by it, and could remember all of it. This simple story of teen friendship
without gun play, thumping soundtrack, or computer imagery.
The acting is good (great in the case of Matt Dillon), and yes there are some descrete hints that it may be more than friendship...

A pity that its a bare bones release,...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! (But the rating is old)
Loved this movie - a classic. But the rating is old, should be PG-13, there is some language in it.
