My Bodyguard
1980, 92 minutes, Rated PG
Clifford Peach (Chris Makepeace), an easygoing teenager, is finding it less than easy to fit in at his new high school, where a tough-talking bully (Matt Dillon) terrorises his classmates and extorts their lunch money.
Refusing to pay up, Clifford enlists the aid if an overgrown misfit whose mere presence intimidates students and teachers alike. But their "business relationship" soon turns personal as Clifford and the troubled loner forge a winning alliance against the intimidators - and a very special friendship with each other. Ruth Gordon, Martin Mull, Joan Cusack and John Houseman round out "a truly remarkable cast" (Variety) in this coming-of-age comedy and triumphant tribute to the underdog.
