Review of Joe the King (1999) by Brandon V — 16 Dec 2008

Okay. I haven't seen this movie in a few years so I can only remember some parts of it. that being said this isn't going to be best review that I can give it.

I thought, as an eight year old child, what a weird and dark movie. it shows a kid smoking, a teacher giving the same kid a spanking, curse words, a mother yelling at her son, etc.

That's a lot for an eight year old , I must say, to absorb and take in and fully come to grasp with the point and plot.

But when I look back at it now, 6 years later, 6 years wiser, i've come to the conclusion that I would think that it was a pretty powerful movie, if I watched it today.
