The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002)
The film is about a group of Catholic school friends who engage in a series of pranks and general mischief. The boys -- Francis Doyle (Emile Hirsch), Tim Sullivan (Kieran Culkin), Wade Scalisi (Jake Richardson) and Joey Anderson (Tyler Long) -- also collaborate on a comic book they call The Atomic Trinity. Interspersed within the film are segments of animated footage based on the comic book. Guiding them in the school are Father Casey (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Sister Assumpta (Jodie Foster) whilst Margie Flynn (Jena Malone) is one of the boy’s crush.
THE DANGEROUS LIVES OF ALTAR BOYS is amazing -- simply stunning in every aspect. The story is rich and full of heart and is somehow very original. The animation is engaging and shares deep symbolism with their characters' real-life predicaments.
