Angus Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Patrick Read Johnson
Genres: Drama, Romance
Rating:
High schooler Angus (Charlie_Talbert), a jumbo-sized lad, seems underappreciated in all aspects of his life: he is a standout offensive lineman on the football team, but golden-boy quarterback Rick (James Van der Beek) gets all the accolades for his blood, sweat, and pass-blocking; he is also an outstanding student, but his classmates still regard him as a dork; the girl of his dreams (Arian_Richards), Rick's girlfriend, seems to ignore him. Only when Angus musters the courage to put on a maroon tuxedo and head off to the school dance at the urging of his loving, free-spirit mom (Kathy_Bates) does he finally get the recognition he deserves (as does Rick, who attempts to publicly humiliate Angus with a cruel prank). While the story is familiar, director Patric_Johnson and the entire cast infuse the film with real warmth, making Angus a winner (as does its refreshing attitude toward violence). Jeremy Beday, Rovi
