September 23, 2009Saw this movie on a boat in 1998, everybody thought this was the funniest movie ever at the time with all the catch phrases and stutters.

September 18, 2007(1998 Director: Frank Coraci)....Hmm...Henry Winkler as the "bad guy" ...a young & sensitive "coming of age" Adam Sanderl...This story has humor(dark hum,or perhaps?) but allows for real feeling!! NOT as hammy as it appears on the survace.. I was BORN IN THE HILLS...and the mom's (Kathy Bates) performance & manipulation by warnings of "the Devil" are remini8scent.....

Thats the best line in the movie, it shows Bobby finally being a man and telling his mom she's wrong. Its really the climax line of the movie.
