Summary: Rubbish
Review: That this piece of trash won any awards at all says a great deal about the awards themselves. From what I have heard this movie was written by a couple of college students. That is not surprising because it seems like it was written by a couple of drunken college students. It was predictable, inane, stupid, boring and just downright awful. The acting was attrocious with the exception of Robin Williams, who put forth one of his most believable performances ever. My favorite bad line was (quoted from memory) "Do you like apples? Well, I got her number how do you like those apples." What tripe. What rubbish. If wasting celluloid was a crime then this movie would be criminal. Please, don't waste your time watching this film. Life is too valuable. Spend your time more fruitfully: clip your nails, clean your kitchen, even watch reruns of the Brady Bunch.

Summary: Must see
Review: Finally, a movie that lives up to the hype! What a fantastic film. All the actors are at their best in this touching and funny drama. For those who have already seen the move, this DVD is worth checking out - very generous in the extras department. The running commentary is wonderful and a deleted scene between Chuckie and Skylar is hilarious and offers a side of Chuckie not much seen.

Summary: Gadzooks Man - This Movie is not about Math
Review: Only a math-nerd would comment on how math was delt with in this movie. Or complain that someone would be so gifted at such a "hard" subject. The fact is people are sometimes gifted like that.In fact it is my guess that the notes made along this line were made to drop hints that the writers themselves are "math-wizzes" As for the relationships between the charactes they're exceedingly believable. Girls fall for emotionally unavailable creeps all the time. They all have a heart of gold you know <--Sarcasm. The shortcoming (more of an irritation to me rather than a flaw) of this script, idealization of "the bad boy" who just needs the love of a good woman, I overlook, as this happens in real life. With or without Hollywood to help it along. If you haven't seen this your eyes are closed. Watch this movie. Your idealized view of how the world should be might not fit. But lighten up it is after all only entertainment.

Summary: Great Film
Review: This movie was excellent. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck truly showed why they are indeed worthy of the oscars they earned. The acting was superb in this film, and that combined with amazing writing made this film truly remarkable. The people who say that Matt Damon was weak in this film are evidently clueless to what good acting is, because he was spectacular. This movie was excellent, and it is worth buying. Thank You Brandon

Summary: A Lovely Drama.
Review: I guarantee you will find this a touching and beautiful drama. The screenplay is an award-winner and the acting is superb. The film is beautiful and I recommend it highly. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck make an excellent debut, and now they are major stars thanks to Good Will Hunting. Robin Williams is as good as ever as the psychiatrist with a terrible past. Minnie Driver is stunning as Will's new girlfriend. This film is sad, dramatic, funny, touching and lovely so you better get down to your video store and rent it now!

Summary: Good Will to all creatures great and small.
Review: This film from director Gus Van Sant is more to die for than was his previous film, To Die For. I'm speaking of course about the one and only Good Will Hunting. Matt Damon is Will Hunting. A janitor at MIT, he is a man of brains, brawn and misdirection. One day while mopping the floors of this "bastion of knowledge", he discovers a contest in which a student is required to proof a formula of finite mathematics. The story takes a serious turn when this well- kept- secret of a genius is discovered by one of the top professors in the university. The trouble with Will, is that he has no desire to go around boasting genius as do many of his counterparts at the university. One day however, Hunting is forced to face himself, for as he is thrown in jail, his only way out is through the caring of the professor who discovered him. Now, Will has to make decisions and think about painful subjects he never dared to face. As a condition of his release, he must attend therapy in order to satisfy the requests of the state. This would in the most unlikely way, change his life forever. Meet Dr. Sean Maguire, a congenial but very direct shrink whom Will is assigned to fulfill his therapy requirements with. But beyond the psychobabble and bureaucratic intricacies of the state, the relationship between Hunting and Maguire is one of pivotal proportions. It turns out Will Hunting and Sean Maguire are both men holding back many a bottles full of anger and fistfuls of pain. As the film progresses, the messages of life's challenges and hurtles become crystal clear. There are more important things in life than the everyday jumbles of feelings we get caught up in. And the only way to discover them is to let go and take a chance. This is a genuine film about release from our personal demons. In the end, Dr. Maguire and Mr. Hunting help each other tear the other's walls of fear. Take it from me folks, there is nothing more refreshing than seeing a film about battle-scarred individuals venting their frustrations on one another in order to rise to a higher lever of peace. This is a penetrating and lighthearted film which surprises the viewer with its hilariously touching humor around every corner. With a script that sounds so naturally spoken by the characters, you would think this film was more about two ordinary people just sitting around talking rather than delivering a written and rehearsed dialogue. With its buffoonery, sensitivity and healing of the mind, Good Will Hunting reinforces the idea that an uncommon story about an everyday hero is the best way to evoke an audience response. This film is not only one of the most effective I have ever seen, but it is one that should let us all know that the things that are most common among the educated and uneducated classes is, we are all people with great capacities and with geniuses hidden in both of our societies. Matt Damon is no doubt another addition to the short but illustrious list of actors who are not just pretty faces, but can also render a character at awe-inspiring levels. Robin Williams delivers his greatest serious role since Awakenings. Ben Affleck (who wrote the film along with Damon) and Minnie Driver complete the circle of perfection which is this film.

Summary: A good movie but the same amount of slow parts as good parts
Review: This movie is slow. But it only gose fast when the good scenes show up and in this movie it is hard to belive but it felt like this movie was going for 3 hours when it was going for almost two hours but trust me you can tell.

Summary: Good Will not enough talent
Review: Mr Will Hunting has it all. He's a genius. He has an eidetic memory. He can beat up people. He's a fast talker that can out duel a Harvard student. He's charming. He can woo women. He knows more math than Gauss, Euler, Poincare, Hilbert, and Ramanujan combined. He is the modern day Leonardo Da Vinci for academians and for women's hearts. But, how can we, the average schmoes, take this movie seriously, when Mr Will Hunting cannot bend spoons? C'mon writers! What a glaring omission! Clearly a character this talented deserves to have telekinetic powers! For more entertainment and >>realism<<, I recommend watching old episodes of MacGyver or the Pretender.
