Mean Creek Movie Synopsis

In a small Oregon town, shy Sam (Rory Culkin) confesses to his protective older brother Rocky (Trevor Morgan) that he is getting pummeled daily by the towering school bully, George (Joshua Peck). Together, they plan the perfect payback, inviting George on a birthday river trip tailor-made to end in the bully's humiliation. Rocky's pals Clyde and Marty (Ryan Kelley, Scott Mechlowicz) and Sam's budding girlfriend, Millie (Carly Schroeder), also join the journey, which starts almost immediately with misgivings. Seeing George in a new light, as a lonely kid desperate for friendship and attention, Sam wants to call the whole thing off. But the boat and the plot are already in motion, and no one can foresee the surprises and accidents that are to come.

Mean creek is such an ace film!! The guys are hot the movie lines are fabulous!! really enjoyed it and when they all realised he was dead i just wanted to cry for evry signle one of them! i really enjoyed it all of us gurlies were biting our nails threw it i deffinatley rate it!! luv Rosie sav .x.x.

I personally believe this was a phenominal movie. Not only was the cinematography, directing, sound editing and writing beyond exceptional, but the acting was so brilliant that I had my mouth hanging open from the minute it began. I am a teenager myself and I know that a lot of people my age would be seriously impacted by this film. It has the potential to become an immediate classic.

AWFUL!! Horrible from beginning to finish. I`m sorry I wasted my time on this.
