Anecdotes
The characters of the film actually parallel the students from The Breakfast Club (1995). Rosario Dawson's character is the perfect, well behaved good student (Molly Ringwald), Fredro Starr and Clifton Collins both play the criminal troublemaker (Judd Nelson), Usher plays the jock (Emilio Estevez), Sara Gilbert plays the unpopular reject girl (Ally Sheedy), while Robert Ri'chard plays the naive runt (Anthony Michael Hall). Ironically, Judd Nelson who played troublemaker John Bender in The Breakfast Club appears in the movie as a straight-laced teacher.

Gaffes
At the beginning of the movie, Stephanie is tapping a purple pen on her notebook when the ceiling leaks and a close-up of her hand is shown to let us see the water. In the close-up she has a pink pen, then it cuts back to her holding the purple pen. This was fixed on the DVD but it remains on the VHS version of the movie.

Citations
Officer Dante Jackson: Come here, son.
Lester Dewitt: Don't call me son. I'm not your son.

brilliantly acted

"Light It Up" is smart, heart pounding and filled with suspense that will keep everyone on the edge of their seat. This is a truly smart thriller drama that takes a look at one of the biggest problems facing America.

Everything about "Light It Up" worked from the performances from relative newcomers such as Usher Raymond and Robert Ri'chard to veterans like Forest Whitaker and Vanessa L. Williams. One thing I must say about the cast of "Light It Up" they took the script and performed with the heart and intent of making this film a success.

The best thing about this movie was not the action but the message that it was trying to send the message that everyone deserves to be treated equally and with the same amount of respect.

Also, the characters were richly developed with honesty and integrity that seems to be missing from films I have been watching recently. I'm glad I got the opportunity to watch "Light It Up" because it taught me not to make judgements based upon first impressions.

Whether you like "Light It Up" or not it will touch you and move you to action. This truly is a movie that has spirit and deserves to be watched.
