My Bodyguard is the story of a school kid being teased by a bunch of tough guys in a Chicago high school. You'll find yourself involved with the characters even though you probably won't feel particularly close to them. Nothing deep here folks but teens will really enjoy the constant threats and confrontations by the characters. Matt Dillon does his usual great job as the leader of a bunch of bullies.Ruth Gordon lights up the screen the few times she appears.
