Summary: The best movie I never saw
Review: I picked up this book/screenplay, knowing very little about the story prior to reading it. Only that I had seen on TV awhile back Matt Damon accept an Academy Award for the movie. So it must be good, right? The script is so remarkable, and the story is very moving as it lets us in on a young man having been dealt a hand in life neither good nor bad really. It's about how you deal with it, and not letting it keep you from finding what you really want out of life. (Hope I am not giving it away.)

Summary: Awesome!
Review: If you love the movie, then you'll love the screenplay. Ben and Matt really did show their other talent through this movie. The script was amazing to read, especially since there were some scenes in it that were cut outta the movie. Highly recommended.

Summary: Original Writing.
Review: It is not difficult to understand why this screenplay won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. There are only so many stories to be told; the difference is how those stories are told. In a land where movies about old television shows are considered original, Hollywood is desperate for anything that looks even remotely new. The tale that Damon & Affleck (with some help from Goldman) tell is not a new one. However, it is the way they tell it that makes this story so fascinating. The characters are fleshed out, not cardboard cut-outs. The words you read actually make you care about the characters, thinking of them as real people.Ah, the words. That's what makes this script so original. If Will, Chuckie, Sean and the rest of the clan were not so eloquent, this would just be another run of the mill buddy/romance/coming-of-age flick that just happens to star Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Robin Williams. Most people remember at least one of the wonderfully written monologues from this film, such as Will's interview with NSA or Chuckie's speech to Will about using his gift. However, the normal every day-to-day speech between the characters is written just as poetically. Words are powerful, something we seem to forget in our modern American society. If nothing else, this screenplay is worth looking at just to refresh one's memory of how moving words can be. A great screenplay to companion a great movie.

Summary: Getting Down to the Nitty Gritty
Review: It's always amazing to watch a great movie and then read the screenplay and discover the brilliance on its pages. Any screenplay that causes you to visualize something other than what the movie showed (a different take on the characters, new faces) is worthy of praise.
Rating:
Summary: Amazing!
Review: It's amazes me how brilliant this screenplay and movie are! After I saw the flick I said "what was that movie I saw last week with the big ship that sank?" This deserved the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay but also should have won for Best Picture and Best Actor.

Summary: ball thing?
Review: Loved it! Kinda makes me think about getting out of my shell but... maybe not. Where do you find one of those ball things that tell you what to do? And what is it called?

Summary: Can there be anything better?
Review: Matt Damon is so talented. His character gave me chills, and when Robin Williams hit the screen, it was like, BOOM...there he is, and from that point on, I was prepared to laugh. It was a fun college type of movie that kept my interest. It was an honest cry, and an honest laugh that made this so damn good. If you haven't seen it...I'm wondering...why the hell not?
