"The Chocolate War is reminiscent of another kind of movie that one wishes could be jump-started again: Angry Young Man films." - Jeremiah Kipp

It's about a douche bag gang getting caught up doing errands for a crazy teacher at a Catholic school who is trying to sell chocolates to impress his superiors. Some outcast kid, with a strong moral leaning due to his mother's recent death, stands up to the corruption choosing to rebel against the lame gang and the morons who surround him every day. It's interesting thematically and in style; though a little blown up with overdone characters. The setting was irrelevant. The ending was great.

This movie was released on dvd a few years ago...the soundtrack wtih Yaz and Kate Bush added something to the movie..I liked the movie, the characters were heart felt..Keith Gordon did a good directing job and Jenny Wright at the time was the indit IT girl...a different take on the high school peer pressure movies..very dark mood
