Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleDoubtless better than it deserves to be, thanks to Fraser, whose Costner-esque dash serves as an antidote to the dated material. Director Robert Mandel, best known for the flashy techno-thriller "F/X," brings a surprisingly sensitive touch to this earnest story of intolerance. Meant to serve as a "Gentleman's Agreement" for the '90s, it's actually got much more in common with "The Outsiders" or even "Pretty in Pink." The moral is the same whether you're a greaser, a tomboy, a gentile or a Jew. You've got to be you.
Film4 - 9/10 by Film4 StaffFraser, O'Donnell, Damon and Affleck would all go on to have much hyped careers, and occasionally make better films than this overbearingly worthy classroom drama.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Randy WhiteStirring movie may be too heavy for some tweens.
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Scott WeinbergWell-intentioned (and only occasionally mawkish) tale of college-boy anti-semitism.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Chris HicksIt's all far too predictable and mired in cliches and stereotypes.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanPlaying Mr. Perfect, Brendan Fraser — yes, Encino Man — proves a smart and likable actor, alive to what’s going on around him. Sidney Poitier proved you could keep your integrity even in a role like this, and Fraser does too.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Ty BurrIn illuminating how upper-class bigotry can encompass both the actively fascist and the politely passive, School Ties is actually one of the more realistic — and least insufferable — entries in the recent prep-school genre.
USA Today - 8/10 by Susan WloszczynaDavid's habit of grabbing, berating or otherwise challenging anyone who insults him gives School Ties a muscular quality not usually found in films about this subject.
Moviehole - 8/10 by Clint MorrisThe stellar cast are brilliant. Brendan Fraser knocks the audience for six.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Jeanne CooperThere's a dramatic imbalance to Dick Wolf and Darryl Ponicsan's screenplay. By making David a saint, they make his bigoted tormentors ultra-despicable. It's so easy to identify who's in the right that it's hard to remember this wrong may exist in us.
