Not the topical exposé its title [suggests], The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys waxes nostalgic for the far more innocent church scandal of teenage heresy. 



The movie ruminates [on] desecration, mischievous and otherwise, but remains essentially true to its source. The gentle comic [treatment] of adolescent sturm und drang should please fans of Chris Fuhrman's posthumously published cult novel—perhaps even as much as the current Spider-Man seems to have delighted Marvel devotees. 



The comparison is not inapt. As directed by the British music video veteran Peter Care, Altar Boys is even more steeped [in] comic books than it is obsessed with the effects of a parochial school education. 



Both color the overheated fantasies of the eponymous altar boys, good-looking Francis (Emile Hirsch) and his more cranky pal Tim (Kieran Culkin), as expressed in their collectively produced underground comic The Atomic Trinity and equally grandiose, nearly insane, plans to wreak vengeance upon the authorities of St. Agatha.
