   Roger Ebert criticizes the film's portrayal of Joe Clark, a real-life principal who whipped a New Jersey high school into shape, as a troubled, arrogant and abrasive character. He argues that the film glorifies violence and intimidation, and fails to show how learning can take place under Clark's reign.

   Is 'lean on Me' a true story?

   • But "Lean on Me" is not a documentary about the real Joe Clark. It is a fiction film about a character who is so troubled, obsessed and angry that the film is never able to say quite what it thinks of him. After the movie, neither are we.

   Does lean on me work as a movie?

   • All I'm claiming is that this works as a movie. Morgan Freeman delivers a rip roaring performance basically as a dictator. At times, his tyrannical nature pushes the audience but I root for him for the most part. This is a great actor in a compelling performance of a memorable character. How long is Lean on Me?

   What is 'lean on me' about?

   • "Lean on Me" is about a disciplinary process. The movie's most bizarre scene has Clark onstage at a pre-exam pep rally, ranting and raving and leading the school song, as if the test were a football game. But you can't pass a test simply because your spirits are high.
