Atom User Reviews
Metacritic
An unsatisfying conclusion, but an inspirational story deftly handled by Freeman.
William Thomas
Empire
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.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
The problem with Lean on Me is a stripped-down script with no room left in it for complexities, and revved-up direction that makes it move anyway.
