★★★★★ · Dead End Kids · Gregoreuo · 2007-08-25
I really liked this movie. The part where Muggs was praying and crying showed how much he really cared for his friend. It was a nice touch. More of our modern movies could use a lot more humanity and caring instead of all the senseless violence and sex-saturated tripe. Good story plot, good entertainment and a joy to watch. Thanks for this movie.

I seen the deadend kids movies when I was a kid and thought they were lost forever until I seen Smart Alecks. I wish they made movies like this again. I really liked this movie and to see Leo and Hans again was a real treat. Hope I can find more movies like this one. The Best movie I've seen in a long time.

This is the one where Mugs starts crying while he's praying. Other than that it's a good movie.

It all started with Angels With Dirty Faces. This movie was one of the good ones.
★★★★ · Marvy · The_Emperor_Of_Television · 2010-07-27
This film is better than bad. I like it. SPOILERS: I like the scene where Muggs McGinnis tries to kiss the nurse.
★★★★ · Bowery Boys · disco07 · 2013-09-02
Watching them since childhood. Good how somethings never change. Attempts to address inner city youth in a comedic fashion. Although highly stereotyped characters, Still fun to watch.
