Rob G This was one of my favorites as a kid. Just showed it to my youngest and she even admitted it was well done. Nice to see it stands up even today. Nice family movie about kids at a boarding school who team together to prevent a murder. Great movie! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Audience Member Teen students at a private school foil an attempted assassination by hitmen including NFL stars Ed "Too Tall" Jones and Lyle Alzado. Middle Eastern target looks Scandanavian. I would like that kid's Swiss army knife, it picks every lock with ease. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member It's 'bout getting away with murder! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Teen students at a private school foil an attempted assassination by hitmen including NFL stars Ed "Too Tall" Jones and Lyle Alzado. Middle Eastern target looks Scandanavian. I would like that kid's Swiss army knife, it picks every lock with ease. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Group of resourceful teens foil an assassination plot right in their own school. Film debuts for Charlie Pride's son Dion (who sings the songs as well), Lisa Whelchel and Lyle Alzado. Not surprisingly, beats typical Disney fare. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A classic from my childhood. Lots of fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
