Is awkward, a bit dated, and has been done better before and since. But this one still has enough heart and sincerity to make a viewing worth your time.

Angus doesn%u2019t follow the path trod by its grandstanding peers. It%u2019ll never be cool like 10 Things I Hate About You or popular like Cruel Intentions. It will never be the showy queen of the prom but instead the mousy girl in the corner of the room it%u2019s impossible not to fall for. Angus is never going to be a normal teen film. Thank God.

Generic in a lot ways. It has a good deal of unrealistic contrived events that push the story forward to a "if only" story for nerds. Sadly stuff just doesn't happen that way in real life and by making it seem terribly hunky-dorey it really demeans how terrible bullying actually is. Still Angus is a generally likable character with actual faults. There are a couple of good gags but a lot of them just don't really work.

One of a good breed of films that aim to walk genre tropes entirely to subvert them, Angus admittedly works far better as one of the more humble, touching films about high school.

I recall this was a fairly decent movie when I was a teen. It made me feel really sad for Angus. Poor fat loser :(

Charming story where the fat kid finally gets the girl. The acting isn't great from the lead and newcomer Charlie Talbert, but the movie has an endearing quality.

Aberdeen Angus burgers are awesome. This movie isn't.

Heartfelt, but unfortunately very unrealistic. People like Angus never get the homecoming queen and I think it's kind of a cop-out to end the film that way. Instead, I would have liked to have seen him become more secure in himself without affirmation from the entire student body and the head cheerleader. Has its share of funny moments and great characters, so I still like it.

Really and underrated movie because, hell, I don't think it's rated at all. I don't know of anyone outside of my circle of friends who has seen it. It's a pretty good movie with a pretty good soundtrack (from what I remember). It's got Dawson playing the role of an a-hole jock, so there's something for everyone.

I love underdog teen movies, but this is minimally inspired at best. Still, watch for a young Dawson as the villain.

It's a pretty generic "nerd gets the girl and shows up the jocks" story. But the main character is really likeable, and it shows that everyone (no matter how perfect they seem) has problems.

A mixed bag. Lots of silly, generic, awkward events mixed in with some funny, originally, and emotionally realistic ones. Some parts of the film have you rolling your eyes and wondering how you ever got roped into watching this shit, and other parts make you think it could have really been something special, had they fixed certain scenes. Meh, pretty mediocre overall.
