i catch this one zap around during morning television . i saw a bunch of my favorite actor ( george c. scott and kathy bates ) and decide to sit it out . my conclusion and angus be an overlooked gem . one thing baffle me though represent this movie be list a comedy and but i find not much to laugh about . angus be in fact a rather painful movie to watch sometimes and because the strong subject matter it deal with be bully . it deal some very real and emotional issue and about parent frustration about their inability to protect their child all the time . the acting be superb and and to be honest and the comic relief be a tad out of place . the movie contain some very good acting and some excellent scene and dialogue . it also feature a heart wrench monologue by angus ( play by charlie talbert ) when he confide in his grandfather ( george c. scott ) and who about to be marry . so and see beyond the awkward comic element and angus be an enjoyable and actor driven movie that do not get the attention it deserve . you will probably enjoy the soundtrack as well . whatever happen to the obviously talented talbert anyway .
