Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
dadivatude1216 Light it up was about a group of teens who just wanted to be heard. Personally speaking, Lester and Ziggy were the main point of the movie, but whatever. It was a deep depiction about the world of government and civilians. What does it take to get heard? That was the point of the movie. I was kinda disappointed with the other characters other than Officer Jackson, Lester, and Ziggy. They really had no point. Especially Stephanie. What was her point? Just to kiss Lester? Weird.And what was the deal with Lynn? I still don't understand her purpose. All and all, it was good. I was pleased with the ending and it kept me wondering during the movie. It was excellent!
Daniel (TERMINATOR180) This is a really great movie, because sometimes we all just want to take a stand, no matter what we have to do,legal or illegal. It even blends a little bit of comedy with the drama. It is definitely worth watching.***1/2 out of ***** stars
AaliyahsFan7901 This movie was very good in the sense that people do assume a lot of things about us kids. The movie was very forceful in its message. The cast was awesome and the comedy gave the movie a fair presentation. 8 out of 10. It really showed to the world that we need to be listened to also.
swagner765 I really liked this movie. It's enjoyable and dramatic. I think you should watch this movie if you don't like your school. I really loved how this movie was acted. Usher Raymond, Rosario Dawson, Robert Ri'Chard, Sara Gilbert, Clifton Collins Jr., and Fredro Starr gave beautiful performances. Usher Raymond starred as a traumatized jock, and he gave it all. Rosario Dawson's character wanted to do what was right, and she did great. Robert Ri'Chard played a abused boy who lives at school, and he gave an astounding, teary, performance. Sara Gilbert played a pregnant teen, and she gave a dramatic and soaring performance. Clifton Collins Jr. played a briber, and he was hilarius. Fredro Starr played a rebel, and he was wonderful. So I liked this flick! Yeahman
