Group of Catholic schoolboys in the mid-1970's are obsessed with comic books, girls and wreaking havoc on their most hated teacher, Sister Assumpta. Rich, rewarding film about adolescence puts other, more popular films in this genre to shame. Spiked with wonderful animated sequences, film is intelligently crafted and often very moving. Terrific cast, particularly the young players, really shine. *** from ****
