Disgusting!
This movie is an Anti-Catholic creation. Starting with a stereotype Nun (Who's absurdly strict), Disgusting Conversations from Altar Boys, and Vulgar comics drawn By Altar Boys. It gives the Image that Altar Boys are Perverted, Drug Abusing, Alchoholics with little or No moral compass. Not to mention it's less than Realistic view on Catholic Schools and Lifestyles. I'm both Disappointed and Appalled that Commonsense gave this 4 Stars, and that they recommend viewing it.

Offensive
With independent films, the experience is often either very good or very bad. I was bitterly dissapointed with this movie, and had to have me finger on the fast forward button throughout. I do not know what offended me more, the obnoxiousness of the boys, the one-dimensional portrayal of religious men and women, or the negative view of Catholic education. The title itself is misleading. The story had nothing to do with the fact that these boys were alter servers at Mass. Their behaviour throughout the story was more suited to John Belushi's "Animal House". I am also a product of Catholic schools, and I find it difficult to believe that students in their early teens are capable of such destructive behaviour. As a Catholic, I am very much offended by this movie.
