This is probably my favourite movie. Why? Maybe it's because I'm a teen, maybe it's because I believe in speaking up for what I believe in, or maybe because the film simply moved me.
Maybe it's all of the above.
This film is about a shy teen that moves to a small town from New York City, and has a radio type of device to keep in touch with his friends back in NYC. Instead, he decides to use the device as a pirate radio station where he spews spontaneous comments, responds to people's letters and speaks his mind about the school he goes to. Of course, the parents and teachers don't like this, so they try to do something about it.
This movie was unfairly compared to Heathers, which it should not have been. Clearly, Pump Up the Volume is a better movie.
