Editorial Reviews

An assemblage of young Hollywood actors poised for stardom marked this tale of anti-Semitism at a 1950s prep school. Brendan Fraser stars as David Greene, a working-class Jewish quarterback from Scranton, Pennsylvania, who is offered a senior year scholarship to a prestigious New England academy. It's David's ticket to an Ivy League education and a way out of his Rust Belt hometown, but there's one condition: the school's elders ask him to be discreet about his religion. At first willing to do so, David struggles with his silence about his faith as his popularity grows. David strikes up a friendship with his roommate Chris Reece (Chris O'Donnell) and a possible romance with Sally Wheeler (Amy Locane), a student at a nearby girls' school. When jealous classmate Charlie Dillon (Matt Damon) learns David's secret at an alumni party, he exposes the school's new gridiron hero, and David faces the full force of religious intolerance from the prejudiced WASP institution. Also featuring early performances from Ben Affleck, Anthony Rapp, and Cole Hauser, School Ties was loosely based on the real-life experiences of producer Dick Wolf, creator of TV's popular series Law & Order.

December 28, 2004: I enjoyed how you saw his character must simply stand up for his beliefs and you see how weak minded a lot of the people are in this movie. A lot of people would rather be friends with people who don't do the right thing instead of being alone. That kind of thinkling trapped people into misery. I love almost every movie Brendan Frasier has done. I would also recommend the book as well.

April 17, 2003: Hi, this is a great movie and should be seen by all Jewish teens, because of the extremely important lesson of history. This movie portrays how much the world was anti-semetic not too long ago, also for those who are not jewish, this is a FABULOUSLY made movie that makes you want to watch it over and over
