For the most part it's a tale of an adolescent, Trevor, who gets picked on a lot at school. Not as much as he used to, because the year before he called in a phony bomb threat, complete with a working bomb (minus anything that would actually explode). Because of this, parents and teachers are afraid of him, and his fellow students generally avoid him, except for a group of outcasts called the "Trogs". As violence by the Jocks against the Trogs escalates, Trevor is the suspect for anything gone wrong, even though he didn't necessarily do anything. One teacher is willing to give Trevor the benefit of the doubt, and casts him in a highly controversial play about (what else?) school shootings. It all comes to a head as some other students create a plan to bring guns to school and kill everyone in the cafeteria.

| User ReviewTom RMade-for-Tv movies are usually made as such, because they are not good enough for a cinematic release or because they are not appropriate for it, however, as this movie is neither, it is such a waste. It seems that hardly anyone in the UK has seen BBYD and it is probably the same in many other countries. I can't help but feel it is because of this that Ben Foster, who is consistantly proving that he is soon to be one of the greatest actors of our time, is so vastly underrated. This film is easily one of the most important I have ever seen. |
