My Bodyguard

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 Dillion) terrorises his classmates and extorts their lunch money. Refusing to pay up, Clifford enlists the aid of an overgrown misfit who mere presence intimadates students and teachers alike. But their "business relationship" soons turns personal as Clifford and the troubled loner forge a winning alliance against the intimadators - 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 delightful coming-of-age comedy and triumphant tribute to the underdog.
