Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Guilty pleasure!
Okay, the other reviewers are right, this is a B movie that has some funny parts that were actually meant to be scary. But trust me, if you like "B" thrillers, this one's pretty good. The guy who plays Johnny is spot on, and the little girl is a pretty good actress as well. The plot's interesting but it dies down a little at the end. Oh well, I rented this a lot when I was younger and always enjoyed it. I bought it used off Amazon a while back, and my husband just didn't get why I loved it. Oh well, to each their own.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - I actually thought this movie was based on the NES game!
I use to play the nintendo game called The Paperboy but then when I heard about this movie I actually thought it was based on the game but it's all about a lonely 12-year-old boy named Johnny who has a crush on his next door neighbor lady who's in her late 30's and is already dating someone and has a kid. I actually thought the movie was horrible and really slow. I couldn't stand watching about a kid who's acting like a bastard just killing people in the neighborhood especially his father. It's such an awful movie don't waste time watching it. The kid in the movie is mentally disturbed.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Typical, bad, straight to video thriller
This movie was a huge disappointment. I thought the acting form the two leads (Melissa and Johnny) was weak to say the least, although I do agree with the previous review about the puberty squeaks. It was boring and lame.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A real Johnny the Homicidal Maniac
Man was this a messed up movie. I saw it last night on tv and this kid...I tell you...he was nuts and a half. I've never wanted a character in a movie to die as much as I did the kid in this (Johnny). He's just such a bastard.

The movie follows Johnny, a paperboy around his neighborhood. He seems friendly for the first few minutes, but then we see that this kid shouldn't be allowed in public areas. He becomes obsessed with a mom and her daughter, constantly visiting and giving them gifts. They're like the family he never had, only they know he's friggin' nuts. Johnny does everything ...
