Christina Reviews *School Ties*

         When David (Brendan Frasier) gets a scholarship to a school for gentiles, he decides that the best course of action would be to hide his Jewishness. It works at first. But when everyone finds out, boy, do they find out.

        This is a good discrimination movie. It strikes all the right nerves, but it’s funny at times too.

        There are some great scenes in this movie. There’s a scene where David and his new classmates sing “Smokey Joe’s Café” in a dorm room and cause a ruckus. There’s a dance scene where teachers go around putting balloons between the dancing couples and say, “Leave room for the holy spirit.” I watched this movie for this first time at a Catholic school. My classmates went on to misuse balloons in that same way every time there was a dance party at someone's house.  So obnoxious. This movie should not be shown to kids. It gives them bad ideas.
