Title: Funny, endearing - and better than expected!
Product review: I love films that surprise me; go somewhere I do not expect them to go, and for that reason this was a film that stuck with me awhile after seeing it. Namkoong Dahl is a loser - one of those guys that can never say or do ANYTHING correctly; if he had one hundred powered donuts in front of him - just ONE sprinkled with crushed arsenic instead of sugar - Namkoong would pick the poisoned one. After transferring to yet another new school, he takes the coaching of a fellow loser, about standing tough from the beginning by taking down another guy on his first day ... and by chance happens to pick a fight with THE toughest guy in the entire school. Now, Namkoong has just eight hours to figure out how to get out of the fight ... or else show up on the roof after school to be killed. Funny, strange, and in its own way very endearing, I ended up loving this slice-of-school-life comedy that packed more of an emotional wallop, in the end, than expected.
