Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Rocky director John Avildsen championed the briefly famous New Jersey high school principal Joe Clark in this upbeat 1989 drama. Morgan Freeman plays the tough-love educator who wields a baseball bat and bullhorn to keep discipline in his hallways and to motivate underachieving students to keep their acts together. After establishing Clark's controversial methods and showing him giving some punks the boot, Avildsen relies on the usual school-drama clichés to fill out the rest of the movie, including a challenge to Clark's philosophy from timid authorities. Freeman makes a strong impact as Clark, his dignity and integrity a sometimes awesome thing. Avildsen, however, is going for a Rocky-esque emotional crescendo. --Tom Keogh



Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of my All-Time FAVORITES!
This movie is full of inspiration! I really liked the no nonsense, "take no prisoners" approach Joe Clark had to getting his school back into shape. What makes THIS movie superior to "Stand and Deliver" is that there's actually drama in this one. It shows just how tough inner city schools can be.

In these types of schools, the biggest problem is generally NOT whether or not they can pass a Calculus test... it's whether they can survive long enough to make it to the end of the school day!

In "Stand and Deliver" I kept waiting for some big event to take place (other than the passing of the test they took), but it never happened. "Lean on Me" was FULL of such scenes! Nonstop action!! Some scenes ARE violent, though, so be careful if there are kids in the room!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This Movie is a great story and great acting
A great Movie of how correcting children should be implimented in the schools today. Kids should be tought to respect themselves and others.I would purchase this again.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "Let me tell you something, the trouble with being a teen-ager is you don't know nothing"
This should be in any Morgan Freeman collection of lovers!!! I love this movie. Morgan Freeman, words can not describe him, or his acting, I'm speechless!!!!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - LEAD THEM WITH A BAT AND A BULLHORN!
Another great inspirational "against all odd" school drama. This true story is one of the best of it's kind even though it's been done many times before in 'Blackboard Jungle', 'To Sir With Love' etc. Morgan Freeman is well cast as the no nonsense principal of a school over run with drug dealers and thugs. This is well worth seeing and it's available on a double feature with 'Stand and Deliver' another excellent school drama.
