Anyone who hasn't seen "Stand and Deliver" should go out and rent it soon. It is an excellent movie based on the true events of poor Hispanic students from California who eventually succeed on the SAT. Despite objectionable content in every category, parents and their teens will really enjoy this movie's message, which is to never give up and work harder. If only they made movies like this today.
i absolutely love this movie. it teaches you many lessons. it makes you laugh at most points. but it always shows a positive message. i didnt have any concerns. it just shows how some people are jugded and the way you look makes people percieve you a different way then you might be.
I have seen this movie more than once and it still stands up. Very moving and powerful story of how to motivate people using their best instincts and challenges. Olmos' performance is mesmerizing. If you've never seen it, give yourself a treat.
I loved this movie because it showed that if you try you can come through with your dreams. And that's what these kids did. It's a great movie for kids.
