Review of The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys

Here's the best recent movie about what it is *really* like to be a teenager since "the Virgin Suicides". And interestingly, in the cases of both movies, the titles give you exactly the wrong idea. This is really an energetic comedy about a bunch of best friends trying to write the next big fantasy epic while surviving school. I love the way the movie brings us into the characters' heads. If you can keep a straight face during the first few animated scenes, I don't know what to say to you.
