   A fictional film about a real man who teaches in a troubled high school and enforces discipline with his own methods. The movie explores the themes of education, violence, and personality, but never really says what it thinks of its main character. Read the review by Roger Ebert, who criticizes the film for its lack of balance and authenticity.

   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.

   Is 'lean on Me' a good movie?

   • "Lean on Me" wants to be taken as a serious, even noble film about an admirable man. And yet it never honestly looks at Clark for what he really is: a grownup example of the very troublemakers he hates so much, still unable even in adulthood to doubt his right to do what he wants, when he wants, as he wants.

   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.
