Angus is fat, dorky and smart, a kid with an uncool pal and a crush on a cheerleader. Angus is funny, rowdy and triumphant, a totally cool movie with a dead-on eye and ear for the hilarious, heartbreaking rite of passage called high school. A great cast (including Academy Award® winners* George C. Scott and Kathy Bates as Angus's oddball family) sparks this story about what happens when Angus is named King of the Winter Ball as a prank -- and how he turns humiliation into victory. Angus, Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times, "delivers a rousing 'up yours' to all the snotty high school golden boys [and] a climax that I, for one, found wholly the equal of anything in Rocky."
This is probably the best film about high school I've ever seen. I wish Warner Bros. would support it a little better, including here, with the out-of-sync trailer.

I love this movie!! Yep its on Netflix instant and you can buy it on the Warner Brothers website. For some reason it is out of print, but its available directly through WB.

Angus deserves a better release than a DVD-R that uses a cast photo that has an actress who wasn't in the film. I ordered a used VHS instead. I still love this movie though.
