Nice girl in bad film.......2006-11-04

Don't be taken in by the featured review here, which makes this sound like a film worth watching. Who Shot Pat is like a first draft of a film school project. It's about a group of guys at a Brooklyn technical high school who fight, talk about fighting, get in trouble, come of age, sort of, and fight. And they have some not-quite-Mr. Chips moments and a talent show. It's well intentioned but just poorly, poorly done. The roles of the women are peripheral, but the main character does inexplicably end up dating a Sarah Lawrence College student played by Sandra Bullock. I assume it's her presence in the film that explains its availability on DVD. She has a gratuitous, very brief if not very revealing nude scene, which might be enough for some people. If you're a Sandra Bullock fan, try While You Were Sleeping instead.

The version I have is from Disc Plaza. The DVD transfer is OK for the price, which is to say a little soft, somewhat pixelly when the camera moves, good color, pan and scan. This version is 105 long minutes, not the 90 minutes reported for the CineVu edition.

Why did I pay good money to see this.......2003-06-09

I love Sandra Bullock, but this was a very boring movie and I cannot belive I paid good money for this. This a very bad movie and should not be sold anywhere. Don't wasre your money on this one.

Sandra shines -- Movie Stinks.......2002-08-04

The title of this review pretty much sums it up. As a Sandra Bullock fan I bought this movie because she was in it. It was interesting to see her youthful performance. She was great. The movie itself is another story. It is utterly awful. The back cover said it was a "wistful" look back in time. Yuk! The movie paints pathetic pictures of meaningless lives and beatings by bullys. How can anyone view that trash wistfully?

Sandra Bullock shines in an early independent film role........2001-10-11

Prior to "Speed" and all of the other Hollywood blockbusters that she's since done, Sandra Bullock was a struggling actress who worked in independent films or had smaller roles in studio films (see the remake of "The Vanishing"). "Who Shot Patakango?" (a/k/a "Who Shot Pat?) is one of her earliest independent film appearances and here she begins to demonstrate the appeal that would later make her a box office success. She plays a Sarah Lawrence College student who becomes romantically involved with a high school senior from a Brooklyn vocational high school in 1957. Save Ms. Bullock and Allison Janney (in a small role), the cast is comprised of unknowns, but the acting, generally, is passable to good.

"Who Shot Patakango?" is a largely episodic film that follows the lives of a group of high school seniors who are on the threshold of graduation. What's interesting here is that it features a school where both blacks and whites attend, certainly unusual for a film set in the 1950s. That angle is not explored as well as it could have been, however. Instead, the film mostly follows the adventures and misadventures of the students.

Digital Multimedia Limited's DVD is a budget release through and through. The film looks great with vivid colors, but is presented full screen. There are no extras (not surprising for a low budget, independent film), save chapter breaks. The bottom line on "Who Shot Patakango?" is that it is a good nostalgic look on high school in the 1950s with a charming performance by a young Sandra Bullock.

A must see for Bullock fans........2001-07-11

Sandra Bullock is timeless in this classic, no one is getting oscars here but it's great just to see her before she got to be a superstar.
