The Outsiders

Rating:
Summary: Bleck!
Review: Oh my gosh! this was really bad. I mean, If you didn't read the book, you'd never have understood the movie. It had really bad acting, too. The only thing that I liked about this movie was the hot guys.

Summary: enjoyable flick
Review: The Outsiders is a movie adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel about teenagers who either belong to the socs (short for socials) or greasers. According to Ponyboy, who is the main character, the socs are the rich kids, the ones who can do anything they want and get away with it. They have snobby attitudes and do not think too highly of the greasers. The greasers are the tough kids. The kids who are trying to make it on their own and do not have the money to buy their way out of life's troubles. The conflict sets in when Ponyboy's best friend kills a soc in a gang-fight and they are left to face the consequences. As a result of the murder, Ponyboy ends up talking with a soc and realizes that they are just like him. They have feelings and their own set of problems to deal with. This movie is about friendship, being a teenager, and the fragile and wonderful thing that is life. A classic with a great intro and ending song, performed by Stevie Wonder

Summary: Wonderful Movie, Excellent DVD Transfer.
Review: The DVD transfer is GREAT! The colors and sound are wonderful.

A great coming-of-age movie with a solid cast of stars: Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Rob Low, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez, and C. Thomas Howell. See the other reviews for more specifics.

Summary: a must if you enjoyed the book
Review: The book was fantastic, it exposed what happened the kids on the other side of the tracks. the movie is wonderful as well. the cast is great, and if follows the book almost perfectly expect for the end. but not so much that it leaves you disappointed. it's a sweet movie with some good lessons about friendship and what's really important in life. you might want to rent it before you buy it just to make sure you really enjoy it though.

Summary: A GREAT PICK!
Review: The Outsiders truly was a great movie! The thing is though, a lot of things in the movie aren't really explained, so you have to read the book first. Also, a huge chunk of the novel was left out; the part in the end. I think that the actor that played Ponyboy was really good! I do think that Soda should've been a larger character. They cut out nearly everything with him in it. Even the part at the end. But it was a great follow-up to the book.

Summary: JUST GOOD
Review: THIS WAS GOOD BUT IT LEFT OUT MANY IMPORTANT PARTS. THE BEGINING SHOULD BE EXPLAINED MORE AND IT JUST KINDA ENDS + SKIPS THE GOOD ENDING. ALSO, SODA SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MORE DOMINANT CHARACTER. HE WAS BARELY PICTURED! ANYWAY, READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU READ THE MOVIE, IT WILL HELP A LOT! JOHNNY AND DALLY WERE MOST ACCURATELY PORTRAYED. WHERE R THESE STARS TODAY? WHERE IS PONYBOY, JOHNNY, AND SODA NOW? WHERE IS A RECENT PIC OF DALLY?

Summary: It is awesome! And the cast is hot!
Review: I thought the movie was amazing! The cast members are so cute!I just love Matt Dillon and Tom Howell! Rob Lowe is hot too! Theonly problem with the movie is when I read the book, the movie left out a ton and some parts you wouldn't be able to understand it if you hadn't read the book, but other than that a GREAT movie and a definate rental!

Summary: A great buy for teenagers!
Review: As a teenager myself, I wasn't very keen on watching this movie myself as it sounded pretty boring and considering that it was made in 1983, it only made things worse.I was sort of forced to watch it as it was my class' English literature text and we HAD to watch it. But this movie really inspired my whole class on living life. Especially the part where Ponyboy is thinking 'It seemed that the sunset she saw from her patio and the one i saw from my back steps were the same.Maybe the two worlds we lived in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset.' What this really meant was underneath all the wealth and loads of attitude, people are still the same.They still have emotions and feel for one another. For some it was a 'sob-sob' movie, with all its emotional parts, we learnt about life, life and life. ALthough this book got my whole class saying 'Shut your trap hood!' and later cracking up, my english literature test was much easier and this meant to all of us that, everyone has their days.
