About this product

Product Information

Based on actual events, director John G. Avildsen's LEAN ON ME tells the story of Joe Clark (Morgan Freeman), a tough and radical disciplinarian hired to save the worst school in Paterson, New Jersey. Eastside High School is in trouble--the once exemplary school is now failing miserably. Graffitti lines the halls, gangs and drugs rule the school, and teachers and students live in perpetual fear. In one school year, Clark is challenged to turn the snake pit of a school into a halfway civilized place of learning, populated by decent students. To make sure his students pass a basic proficiency exam, Clark resorts to what some believe to be questionable methods--including wandering the halls threateningly with a baseball bat--to restore order to his school. Clark's extreme tactics also include firing teachers for talking back, forcing students to sing the school song on demand, and locking out students known to be drug dealers. Freeman delivers an astonishing performance as the tough-as-nails principal who became a national hero and symbol for tough-love education.

    LEAN ON ME needs to be mandatory "watching"

    Based on a true story of a principal from New York, this is a drama of reality. When the world gives ups on a run down inner city school, one man stands alone and fights the system. Granted, all his ways might not be "ethical", but the ending shows the affect of his ways. The city's goal is to shut down the school, based on "standardized testing" scores . But their principal teaches the students to believe in themselves, discover there is such a thing as hope, and to never give up. This movie will have you shedding tears of sadness, then of joy. A movie that is sure to be a classic to be watched for years to come, because it teaches the value of working together, and what the human race can accomplish, when pushed into a corner with someone they can "Lean On".

    Lean on Me DVD

    This is a great movies with great actors and actress. You want to share something with teens that think they know. This shows that children from all background can make a change. In life you will have some adults that care and others that dont. But you make out your life what you want. Yes our kids need good direction in school, but it starts at home. They need the love of the parent from home first. Color should have meaning when it comes to working together to make something better. When it is all said and done, God see us all the same.

    Lean on Me

    I bought this movie mostly because it's about the high school my dad attended in the 1940s. My dad designed the school's mascot which I hoped to see in the film. It was there, in a modern spray-can painted version. I enjoy Morgan Freeman's acting. The tension between him as Principal (doing what he thought was right) and the parents, school board and Mayor (not wanting to rock the boat) had me on edge. I was sad to hear profanity spoken by the responsible adults in the film, when they were supposed to be setting a good example for the students. Other than that, I really liked the film.
