About

Synopsis

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) watch online on iFILM — a coming-of-age drama from Chris Fuhrman's novel, starring Kieran Culkin and Emile Hirsch.

Four Catholic school boys get caught passing around an obscene comic strip lampooning their nun — played with icy authority by Jodie Foster. The punishment lands. Their response: plan a heist that will make them local legends. Stealing a puma from the city zoo seems about right. The caper plotting is half-serious, but something quieter keeps breaking through — a first crush, a broken home, the specific feeling of being fourteen and knowing the clock is running.

Director Peter Care came from music videos and made this his feature debut. Lean, specific, not sentimental. Stream The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) online on iFILM.
