Pump Up the Volume

I liked this as a kid, but holy hell was it corny on a rewatch. He got so worked up over nothing by the way — it became something but started as nothing.
Corny as fuck
Concept was great, but it was a tricky customer to sit through.
Wish it dealt with deeper subject matter

Pump Up the Volume

A fun movie about the power of the human voice and freedom of speech. Some good songs on the soundtrack (Leonard Cohen specifically). Gets a bit heavy handed by the end and doesn’t touch upon the guilt aspect enough but the issues it deals with still prevail today.
