Three years ago, after reading Maniac Magee with my class, a student brought in a home recorded VHS tape from TV of the movie. The quality was poor, and frankly, the movie was not well done. It was not true to the story, and my students were disappointed with the major changes made to the plot. At then end, Maniac and Amanda were actually portrayed as boyfriend/girlfriend. I would not recommend the movie or any further search for it. Posts on this thread, including this one Maniac Magee, 4/06/05, by aaron prysock. Re: Maniac Magee, 4/12/05, by Monica DeLeon.
