The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys - 6

This is the story of a group of middle school boys who go to a strict Catholic school (Jodie Foster is one of the nuns/teachers) and use most of their spare time to think of comic book ideas and draw them up. They also come up with pranks to pull, like stealing the schools name-sake figurine. This film also has episodes within it of animation of the comic that the main character dreams up. The story gets more intense as it develops and starts to uncover the reality of the students lives. It honestly deals with the hardships of life, and especially how adolescence mature and change as they move into adulthood.
