That Was Then... This Is Now Reviews

---

wow
Not a bad movie, from from back in the 80's. (It's an adult film, not for children). Now we know what is wrong with society. If the movie follows the book except for cussing (never read the book)? Then we are letting children read about pre marital sex, car stealing, drug use, and gang violence. This is an "R" rated movie, I would hope that any teacher of children could read a rating and would have the sense not to show it to a class of underage children.

That was not That Was Then. . .This is Now.
I totally agree with Ms. Horkey and the Texas School Teacher. What a let down!I realize that the screenplay was written by
Emilio Estevez instead of S.E. Hinton (as in The Outsiders). I will never waste my money on or embarrass my students with anything scripted by him again. Too bad I did not read their reviews before I ordered or preview it before I showed it to my ninth graders (who are learning English as a second language). Their is no excuse or justification for such a rotten rendition of book used in schools for the past twenty years. It was so bad we had to turn off the video and just finish reading the final three chapters--totally unacceptable, and I am still angry! If you take EE's favorite F word and the two letter preposition that tends to be used with it, this describes his rendition of a wonderful work.
