Delightful fun from your friendly neighborhood Newsies!

So you can't get enough of the Newsies huh. Well, buckle up kids this is not your family Disney movie! Filled with curse words, sexual innuendos and extreme violence. I would give it a rating of at LEAST PG13. Join our adorable newsie Specs, played by Mark David, as he transforms into a jealous and ruthless Don Knotts who vows to destroy the Newsies if it's that last thing he does. Follow him as he goes on a killing rampage, try to keep up with him and figure out who he will strike next.

Basically it's the type of movie that the neighborhood boys tend to make around the ages of 15 to 18 when they get bored. But truly it is brilliant. The editing, the sound, even the plot! So if you just can't get enough of your Newsies and you are able to hear an F word or two... Go watch it!
