The Mighty

Summary: Great movie, You have to read the book
Review: I think that the movie The Mighty was very good, but not as good as the book. The movie added a little too much. Like the scene when Kevin rides the bumper of the van down the hill to get to Max. In the book he didn't do that. Although, the movie did the follow the book in amny ways. It had a lot of quotes that Max or Kevin said. It also showed many of the adventures that Max and Kevin went on together. It also showed the many battles with the doghouse boys and Blade. For the most part, the movie did follow the book very good, but like they always say, books are better than movies, and i agre with this one.

Summary: An excellent family movie
Review: if you only have your kids see one movie this year, make sure its this one. An inspiring movie for kids of all ages, my wife and I watched this with our youngest (9), and next day gathered his older brothers (12 & 16) to watch it. They enjoyed it and we are waiting anxiously to have it released for home purchase. We want this one in our collection.

Summary: One of the best movies I have ever seen!
Review: A touching movie about two misfit teen boys who find each other, become best friends and give strength to each other's weakness. Great message for kids and adults alike, as it's main theme is to accept people who are different.

Summary: Living Books, "The Mighty," gives it a whole new meaning.
Review: Well done, "The Mighty." I was relieved that the movie followed the same format as the book, specifying the start of chapters within the film as the book also does. This kept the essense of how the character of Max thinks...How he categorizes his life into thoughts and feelings...And that we all do this as well. The acting was superb, Kieran Culkin playing a boy dying, but getting his just desserts by his courage and ability to live in the moment...And by giving hope to a self-depreciating large boy with more of a mind than he ever thought he had. Max was introspective enough to be wonderful. The supporting cast, carefully selected. Sharon Stone was soft...and subtle in her grieving. Gillian Anderson showed a great ability at instantaneous departure from her Scully. She was amazing and wonderfully different. I'm looking foward to more of Gillian.

Summary: Buy This Film Now!
Review: I had seen the theatrical trailer for this film when the working title was "Freak the Mighty." I suppose someone thought the term 'freak" to be deragatory; however, after seeing this sleeper, I'd be proud if someone thought I had those rare and wonderful characteristics Kieran Culkin's character, "Freak," displayed in this film. I don't ever remember this movie coming to Honolulu (so much for the "Coming soon to a theater near you" slogan!), but I was thrilled when it was released on DVD. I rented, and sat at home alone watching it one evening after work. I rented it again three days later when my girlfriend was over so she could see it, and loved it even more the next time. I've ordered the DVD from Amazon (it should be here tomorrow!), and plan on sharing it with as many of my friends as possible. This is as touching and heartwarming a film as I've seen in years. It is destined to become a classic -- it has lessons that all our children should learn, hopefully before they're too old to be shaped by the story. With little violence, almost no foul language, a marvelous soundtrack (featuring the title song by Sting) and an outstanding ensemble cast, you cannot go wrong with this film. It is destined to become on of my all-time favorites.

Summary: One of the best "friendship" movies I've seen
Review: I can't wait to own this one! This is truly a great family movie. Very wholesome, with no nudity, mild violence (no blood & guts type stuff) almost no swearing, and no drugs. It's a wonderful story of friendship, acceptance, courage and discovery. It's a true heart-warming, feel-good movie.

Summary: Read the play...loved the movie...
Review: I read the play a few years ago and liked it, but I saw the movie and loved it! Gillian Anderson's preformance was hysterical (totally different from her x-files character, Dana Scully) And the whole movie/storyline was heartwarming and touching.

Summary: A MUST SEE FOR GILLIAN FANS!
Review: The Mighty is an excellent film that I had been awaiting for a long time. The cast is amazing but does not let us down when it comes to the storyline. Gillian Anderson proves to naysayers that she is a phenomenal actress, Sharon Stone gives a great performance, Gena Rowlands, Meatloaf, and best of all Kieran Culkin round off this amazing movie. I was impressed by the effect this film had on me and others. I hope to encourage others to view it as soon as possible.

Summary: It was WONDERFUL!
Review: Everyone in this movie did wonderfully. Sharon Stone was a different character than she usually plays, and she was wonderful. Gillian Anderson played a crazy biker woman and did beautifully. Gillian proved in this movie how wonderful her acting is and that she can do anything. She's not just Dana Scully. She's a brilliant actress. Everyone in this movie was wonderful. This movie was a great topic. See it if you like the people in it!
