michaelmstudent pay attention, this movie will not shock you but it wouldn't kill you to watch it. For one the director is Robert De Niro, that's a guy that everyone knows in movies that are so awesome you would watch twice. Second, the producer who gave the director tips for the movie(he probably didn't need them) making it better, getting rid of flaws. Third, the character selection people, I mean the ending could have been extended to give us a story of what happened after Sunny's death. Never the less this movie accurately represent teens and how teens are love-struck and because of all the new feelings, they need a way to release this feeling of love. I empathize with "c" because at first he didn't care about finding a girlfriend but it soon changes to an important thing in his life.

elvinrstudent I say it was a movie that could relate to bronx life because back then bronx was bad and still is but some area are bad but i can imagine but it was movie where a lot of people live around see their whole life events fights and mores stuff a lot of times you end up in the same thing i give thx to God that he took me out at time cause never know i could of gotten close to more people worst then me and i could of since i had friends who and people around me who just like starting problems and i use to be a boxer at training and i was changing and turning and thinking i was tuff but yeah people say brooklyn is a bader place then bronx i disagree because I've live in brooklyn heard stories and been there one time i went to bronx even more that i might not know of but movie that i could compare to bronx

Richie-67-485852 Good entertainment and its all true. I grew up in Brooklyn and saw many of the scenes depicted in this movie. Good job on the story, acting and directing well done to all involved. I was able to relate to the hanging out, our couple of long blocks in all directions and others coming into our turf uninvited. Yelling out of upstairs windows, stoops and lots of lively activity going on in the streets day and night which by the way exists to this day in the city that never sleeps i.e. New York. Robert Deniro captures his role of the everyday working man who makes an ordinary living but in an honest, transparent and consistent way. This movie has it all plus a awkward love story which was and is the way it happens. Pay close attention to how everyone in the neighborhood knows everyone else or about them. Anything you did quickly got back to your mother/father. On another note, with all the mischief I got into both plan and unplanned, I was lucky to make it out of my childhood alive and wouldn't you know it, its covered here too. Any thing happens out of the norm, the neighborhood comes alive and together is demonstrated here. Light snack with a tasty drink recommended for your maximum viewing pleasures and remember, this did happen so don't be too judgmental but instead marvel at just one of the millions of ways one can grow-up

Breumaster I don't know the Bronx. I only know it from tales and movies. But there was not any movie like this about the Bronx, i saw before. In this movie, there is no single boring Minute. From beginning to the end, it's a interesting Story about the troubles from coming of Age in a Mafia ruled district. The effort of a father to Keep his beloved son away from sliding into a Company of the Mafioso, the effort of the son to do the best and cope with the circumstances and the Mafioso who lives to keep the scales in Balance for not diyng to early. :) There are a few aspects, that make this movie unique. It's the Story with the exact amount of Tension that makes you want you watch continuously. The movie is perfectly edited for flowing from Scene to Scene. The Story is told in a flawless flow. The camera-work is on a high Level and the casting is dreamlike! The actors are all perfectly casted and do a real good work. One of the best of deNiro and i do not now one other movie, in which Chazz Palminteri is more sympathetic than in this one. I will surely watch this again. :)
