Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

dadivatude1216 Light it up was about a group of teens who just wanted to be heard. Personally speaking, Lester and Ziggy were the main point of the movie, but whatever. It was a deep depiction about the world of government and civilians. What does it take to get heard? That was the point of the movie. I was kinda disappointed with the other characters other than Officer Jackson, Lester, and Ziggy. They really had no point. Especially Stephanie. What was her point? Just to kiss Lester? Weird.And what was the deal with Lynn? I still don't understand her purpose. All and all, it was good. I was pleased with the ending and it kept me wondering during the movie. It was excellent!

shaososa What are Forest Whitaker and Clifton Collins Jr. doing in this? Light It Up is a ridiculously melodramatic piece on problems in low income area schools. While the topic is one that needs to be addressed, the film uses every cliche in the genre and comes off as a textbook popcorn flick. The characters are cutouts from the inner city version of The Breakfast Club or even The Faculty. Watch this with your children when they turn 13 or 14. With them, it could be an outlet for a lesson on current social problems. For anyone older, it will be nothing more than something to watch and spit on at 4 in the morning, as I did recently on Bravo. Matter of fact, what was this doing on Bravo?

Mark Maynard This film is a stirring tale of the events of a day at an inner city public school. Where a few of the students end up holding a police officer hostage. This film really shows the way students in the innner city can be pigeon holed into a horrible situation.

xawn I must say that although the film it no oscar winning material, it is not bad at all. The acting is very good, the story line is simple but powerful at the same time. It is firmly much better then many of the blockbuster films which hit our screens every month and leave us with a sour taste in our mouth.
