Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Robert De Niro gets top billing, but young Leonardo DiCaprio is the revelation of This Boy's Life, an astute, often painful drama of growing up in the 1950s Pacific Northwest, based on the autobiographical novel by Tobias Woolf. DiCaprio plays Tobias, a good kid with a bad boy streak but an unwavering love for his divorced mother (Ellen Barkin). "I want to be a better boy," he promises from under a greasy pompadour, and tries to prove it when she marries single father Dwight (DeNiro), a bully who parents through intimidation and humiliation. DiCaprio is magnetic in his first starring role, full of anger, hope, and confusion as he drifts back to juvenile delinquency, and his intensity gives the true story of survival and triumph its charge. DeNiro is frightening and pathetic as Dwight, and Dwight's youngest daughter is played by future star and vampire slayer Eliza Dushku. --Sean Axmaker

This is a true story about Tobias Wolffe. He is a boy who's mother is raising him alone, and he spends most of his days with his buddies, and getting into trouble while she's at work. His mother doesn't know what else to do with him, so she marries a man, whom she feels would be a good example to him. This is when she decides to send poor Tobias to stay with her new boyfriend to see if he can straighten him out (prior to their marriage). He is very strict, and down right mean to Tobias, but is always ... Read More

This is a Great Movie. I had seen it and loved it on TV and just had to have it for my DVD collection.

This movie is by far the most entertaining movie I have ever seen. The acting is brilliant. Deniro is not known for comedy, but this is his greatest role, it is hilarious. I still tell my kid if he ever does anything bad "kill or cure" every time my wife makes me dinner I complain "This is all I get for dinner." If I ever get mad at my wife I call her a "Liar and a Whore." I tell my coworkers "I know a thing or two about a thing or two." If you want great lines, awesome acting, and one of the most ...

This is one of those movies that serves no real purpose but tries to hide behind a shell of seriousness. With the exception of Mr. Robert De Niro (who was incredibly substandard, bad, zombie-like and just generally abysmal,) most of the performances were OK. But, I found the story very hokey and lacking something. The movie reminded me of "Sleeping With the Enemy" or even "Places in the Heart" a little. But each of those movies are about a million times better. I did like the part when the boy with the scarf ... Read More

Leo DiCaprio plays Tobias Wolff in this stark drama of child abuse that somehow works out for the better.Based on a true story, this film produces some of the finest acting one would ever want to see.Tobias is everything that his stepfather DeNiro never was: good looking, intelligent, talented, one who enjoys reading. DeNiro positively hates him and steals the show with a display reminiscent of Lee J.Cobb in "On The Waterfront" 40 years before. Bitter, violent, sadistic, jealous, one would ... Read More
