Set in a small Oregon town, where secrets are hard to keep and lies even harder, Mean Creek flows with a simple elegance of its truth and consequences as it follows a crisis in the lives of its teen characters.
The journey begins as a plot for playful payback on a local troublemaker; the journey onscreen begins with a river, as a ragtag group of troubles and not teenagers set out on a boat trip to celebrate the birthday of their youngest member. As a sort of boyish Heart of Darkness trip develops, cracks in the crew form when some of the teens have second thoughts about what they are about to do.
Synopsis
It all begins in a small Oregon town, when shy Sam confesses to his protective older brother Rocky that he is getting pummeled daily by the towering school bully, George. Together, they plan the perfect payback, inviting George on a birthday river trip tailor-made to end in the bully's humiliation. Rocky's pals Clyde and Marty and Sam's budding girlfriend Millie also join the journey, which starts almost immediately with misgivings. Seeing George in a new light, as a lonely kid desperate for friendship and attention, Sam wants to call the whole thing off. But the boat and the plot are already in motion, and no one can foresee the surprises and accidents that are to come.

mean creek is a real must watch for any young adult. it tells the story of some teens who set out to play a cruel joke, as some of them are peer pressured into it, and then some try to back out, as their consceince comes into play. this is one of those films that make you think, and stars one of the boys from drake and josh.
