And they told him things he’d be better off not knowing. Wow. I don’t know how they got ahold of my life story but I’m a little upset they stole it. This is exactly what happened to me. Now? Now I’m a hobo.
★★★★ · That's the Last Time I Ask *Him* to Buy Me a Pint of Old Harper! · Christine Hennig · 2004-09-10
Some teenagers ask a guy on the street to go into a liquor store and buy some booze for them. Unfortunately, they are in a Sid Davis movie, so not only does the guy refuse, but he tells them a long, lurid story about three teenaged boys who start drinking and end up with police records, school trouble, and the inevitable horrible car accident. This is your basic Sid Davis number, which means that itÃÂÃÂs quite lurid and preachy, and thus a lot of fun. Probably the most unbelievable moment is when two of the three guys, who must both at least be 17, are shown having their ÃÂÃÂfirst drink,ÃÂÃÂ…
★★★★ · THEY SAID IT: "Alcohol is Dy-No-Mite!" · martini66 · 2005-03-04
Cute kids have one drop and instantly become hard-core, irreversible alcoholics. Jim inadvertantly kills sweet girl in dramatic hubcap-rolling-from-car scene and has to live with the stigma of "Drunk Boy". LESSON: ALWAYS bring your own bottle.
★★★★ · Boozehounds in days. · Victor Von Psychotron · 2013-03-29
Dramatic teen scare film that impresses that you can become a sloppy lush in a manner of weeks.
★★★★ · complete dra.. hic.. drag · Dr-Pretorious · 2022-01-24
Takes the fun and charm right out of a nice cocktail party. The horror and misery traps of the Sid Davis world is varied and waiting my friends.
★ · Then the boys beat me up and did bad things!!!!!! · bestpbx · 2008-03-20
They cut out the part of this film where the two teenaged boys beat the crud outta the guy telling the story in the film. They then stole his wallet and his keys and drove his car to his house and brought the family dog into the house and let him sit on the sofa and eat all the meat in the refrigerator.
