Fresh: Avildsen's enthusiastic direction gives Lean on Me a heartwarming, feel-good tone that is accessible beyond the environs of its subject. – Jane Galbraith, Variety, Jul 9, 2014

Lean on Me, years later

I live in New Jersey, not too far from Eastside HS. There is a lot to be added to this movie in 2009. Joe Clark ran into a lot of trouble. He could not be batman as it violated NJ Educational Law. In fact, a sequel could probably be made of the great flick. I write this from the point of view of a teacher, who taught in a largly defacto segregated school. This is a DO NOT MISS MOVIE!

F-I-N-A-L-L-Y---- True Story and awesomely played.

I have been waiting for this movie on ITunes! I love this movie! A great story about a principal who changed a school, that was considered "a jungle". Drugs, Crime, and Gangsters turned a school into something awful and Joe Clark turned it around. This is truly an inspiring story on what one man can do.

Best movie ever!!!!

This movie is sooooo good!
