The Paperboy Audience Reviews

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
fouregycats The problem is, these movies are so predictable. It's like these people want to remake "The Bad Seed" over and over again. This kid isn't even scary but is breathtakingly annoying. The object of his obsession, a young woman with a little daughter, is so clueless as to how to get rid of him that it boggles the viewer's mind.Frightening? No, because it's predictable. This movie has been made, remade, and made yet again.
GUENOT PHILIPPE When I saw it yesterday, I quickly thought of all these movies made in the early nineties, such as HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADDLE, STEPFATHER, and especially THE GOOD SON( these two latest directed by Joseph Reuben); I would name these features "family thrillers", showing psychopath searching for "love" around them, their neighbourhood. And of course, there were many more of them. But THE GOOD SON, starring Macaulay Caulkin, is very close to this one. You can also name THE CHILDREN, more recently, but rather a horror flick than a psychological film.That's all I had to say about it. Not a bad movie.
pippa-7 i saw this movie as a child and i don't have very fond memories of it- that is, it really scared me. i'm sure if i watched it again now that i'm older i wouldn't feel so creeped out about it. i remember quite a few scenes vividly- the main character is a twisted boy who kills without regard but whom nevertheless forms a strange bond with a younger girl next door. as i recall, people start to catch on to what he's about and the ending is a real bloodbath.this movie isn't for the faint of heart, but if you like stories about psycho killers and gruesome murders, then by all means, rent this movie, the paperboy won't disappoint you.
Devotchka Sigh...memories of long summer days in which my sister and I did little more than watch the USA network. While doing so we tripped over this pathetic little blunder of a movie, and have since peppered our conversations with comments such as "God hates stupid children!" and "Hey Peaches, want some ribs?"Characters are as follows: Johnny McFarley, the homicidal paperboy, Melissa, the completely oblivious object of his desire, and Cammie, Melissa's brainless little girl. There is also the witchy old woman from down the street, who spends about half of her scenes cackling, "He's eeeeevil!" in reference to Johnny.In short, the movie is dumb. It's contrived. No one I've talked to has ever seen it, which is a pity because it's so humorously bad.
