DVD Review: Chorister of discontent

Dustin Hoffman is the demanding choirmaster in Boychoir.

Master Carvelle (Hoffman) sees something in the angry 11-year-old Stet (Garrett Wareing) that is worth persevering with.

The boy, from a small town in Texas, has been thrust into the demanding Boy Choir School after the death of his single mother.

He arrives with lots of baggage - resentment and a troubled past.

It's a battle of wits as Carvelle is determined to help him find his voice.

Boychoir also stars Kathy Bates, Eddie Izzard and Debra Winger.

Released by Becker Film Group, the Boychoir DVD is $34.95.
