Tagline: Terror in the lunchroom. Trouble in the hallways. One kid decides to fight back
This was one of those smaller movies that hit hard for the right people. My Bodyguard told a simple story about bullying friendship and standing up for yourself. No fantasy or special effects just something honest and real. The kind of film parents rented for their kids and ended up watching themselves.
Long before teen dramas became common this one paved the way.
