Summary: A call to heroism
Review: Men--young and old--are too rarely in this day and age called to heroism. This powerfully-written and well-acted tale of a 20th-century teen whose love and heroism are contagious is a summons to heroism, to the finest tradition of gallantry. This film is EN-COURAGING--a summons to courageous action based on an ancient code of honor that is buried deep in the hearts of men.

Summary: A fantastic surprise while killing time on a long flight.
Review: I am currently teaching a class to men based on Robert Lewis' book, "Raising a Modern-Day Knight." When I saw "The Mighty" on flight from SF to Atlanta, I went into an immediate search for the video. The movie shows how the ideals of knighthood can give us a vision for the best of manhood instead of men behaving badly. I agree with a previous review that shames Miramax for not advertising this fine, inspiring film.

Summary: A definite 4 tissue movie!
Review: This is a definite 4 tissue movie! Not only are we shown the value of friendship, but of kindness, honor, and dignity. This movie contains a lesson for all! Anyone with a heart can relate in some way to Max and the Freak, and can come away from this experience refreshed and more aware of all that we take for granted!

Summary: One of the most magical movies ever made!!!
Review: This movie has the power to reach into your chest and squeeze your heart 'til it hurts. The characters are amazing. Max and The Freak are inspirations of how we humans should be. How we should treat one another. Dignity, honor and respect resonate in this work of cinematic art. Shame on Miramax for not putting more press around the release of this movie so it could have gotten the attention it deserves! Gillian Anderson was wonderful in this offbeat, quirky role. The most credit goes to the boys and thier amazing acting abilities. Especially the actor playing Max. He is too good for words. "We will be brothers and we will fight for all those who ask for help" spoken by Max in The Mighty.YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!

Summary: If you have kids, have them watch this.
Review: This is movie restores your faith in humanity. It's the antithesis of kids shooting each other in school. Against all odds, from the depths of diverstiy, shines a hope bright enough to illuminate the way for everyone who knows one special young man. If you feel you are the only one who believes in "Might for Right" anymore, see this film.

Summary: This inspiring and touching film was the best story of 1998
Review: This story of two very different boys on the cusp of adolescence is a great adventure and is a must see for anyone who wondered about fitting-in. The young actors who play these roles are terrific and the nobility of the characters and their stories is inspiring. I hope the video is inexpensive because I intend to buy lots of them as gifts.

Summary: Excellent film about friendship and the power of imagination
Review: This is a film that shows us that we can all overcome limitations if we have faith, imagination, and friendship. Two pre-teen boys, both misfits in their own way, form an unlikely friendship that provides growth and new experiences for both. Through a series of adventures they learn to trust each other, have fun and conquer old fears and self-imposed limitations. A great movie to watch with 7-12 year olds of all ages. One of the very few videos I would buy for my library.

Summary: A wonderful book to movie adaptation!
Review: I currently teach Rodman Philbrick's book to my 7th grade students (who absolutely fall in love with it after the first chapter) and I saw this movie at a special screening. To say the least, I smiled, laughed, and cried. I can't wait for it to be out on video so that my students can watch it!

Summary: The Mighty(1998)
Review: This movie is about two boys who become really good friends (Culkin & Ratliff) both have really wild imaginations. Both boys are different from each other and everyone else, but much like one another in many ways. This film is the only drama that didn't make me cry, because everything that happened was expected. Sharon Stone who plays Gwen Dillon (kevin's mother) did a fine job with her part. Gillian Anderson (scully from the X-FILES) fit her part very well as an ex-cons girlfriend, who gives max a helping hand. My favorite quote from this movie was said by Stone "Congratulations, you must be proud. You've just given birth to a healthy seven pound dictionary." I think this movie is much like "Simon Birch". Both Simon & Kevin were born with birth defects, and both found one very special friend who was always there for them. I think this movie was very good and so was the book. You should read the book first before you see the movie.
