this was a great movie. it's kind of funny how things happen, though, because the first time i attempted to watch this movie the dvd broke right when they were stealing the statue, and up until that point it had been really funny, so when i went to watch it again i figured it would be a really funny movie, but right after the statue part it starts getting serious, and also really good.
the acting is solid all the way around, but kieran culkin is the best actor of the bunch. i thought it was cool to see jodie foster as a villian for once. the animation clips imbetween scenes are pretty cool. what i liked about this movie is that you see all the crazy stuff these kids are doing and you say "i want to go do that with my friends" (i'm only 15), and of course you never do, but it's fun seeing other people do what you can't and probably shouldn't.
another thing that i really liked was that josh homme of queens of the stone age did the soundtrack. his song "all the same" really helps make the ending as sad as it should be. not that the movie needed help, because it had a plenty sad ending, but the song was still a good way to end it. i usually hate coming of age movies, but on the rare occasion that they are done right, like 'the dangerous lives of altar boys", they are some of the bes movies to come out. 10/10
