"My Bodyguard" is a wonderful film that has a charming story which doesnt have to have people getting blown up or killed. The movie also has a nice moral too it. I remember watching this as a kid and this was one of my favorite films growing up. It teaches kids about friendship, devotion and loyalty and standing up for what you believe in ... its a classic compared to some of the trash like 8 mile thats out there today.
Chris Makepeace is excellent but Matt Dillon is truly fantastic as the school bully. I highly reccommend this type of movie for your kids.
