Summary: Never giving up!!!!
Review: I loved the movie because I just finished watching it and I think that having a Disability can have its Advantages and I admire that and I respect it too. Having a disibility can be hard, but after watching the movie it made me think that anything is possible. I really recommand that everybody should see this movie at least once so they can better understand what its like to be Handicapped.

Thank You!!!!

Summary: Movie Of The Year! Oscar Worthy
Review: I really don't know where to start because there is truly much to be said about this film and the performances. I'll begin by saying I don't know of any actor that could pulled off the role of Bill Porter other than William H. Macy. I was captivated, engrossed and touched through the entirety of this film. I'm sure for Mr. Macy playing this role was just a part of being an actor but he certainly has me convinced that he put every ounce and fiber of his soul into this role. I truly COMMEND him for his portrayal of Mr. Porter. The portrayal was done with a great deal of dignity and I'm sure the screenwriter had some to do with that as well. Almost all the performances in the film were Excellent including Co-Star Kyra Sedgwick's performance. However, this movie shines because of Willam Macy's acting. His performance alone is worthy of an Oscar. I never once thought he was acting, I honestly believed he was Bill Porter a salesman with Cerebral Palsy. In the media of modern films, we are generally detached from the characters and sadly enough sometimes even the plot. But in this case I felt a connection with the characters and the storyline....specially that of Mr. Porter. I highly recommend this film, so rent it! I recommend a box of tissue for the soft hearted, you may shed a tear or two before it's over. I know I did.

Summary: Most Inspirational Movie
Review: I saw this movie on TV. I do not have the video yet, because it is not out yet, but I will get it as soon as possible.

This was the most inspirational movie that I have seen. It makes one realize that there are no "good excuses" for whatever it is you think you can't do.

I can't recommend this movie enough. It uplifted my whole attitude towards life.

Thank you to Bill Porter and William H. Macy!

Summary: Excellent for education and enlightenment
Review: I teach a class of high school students with disabilities who are in search of their first job, and I showed this to class to let them know that it is possible to obtain a job and be successful with a disability. I always enjoy finding educational messages in entertainment, and this is one piece. I would recommend this to anyone in an education setting or as an inspirational story about overcoming barriers and finding one's true meaning in life.

Summary: Cute inspirational movie
Review: I was leery of this movie being that it was essentially made for TV and figured it would be one of those sappy "try to make the viewer cry" movies. In a way, it was... but it was very well made.

William H. Macy shines as Bill Porter, the salesman with cerebral palzy that becomes an "invisible thread" in peoples lives throughout his story. The acting is top knotch all around and the plot, which is based on a true story, is very inspiring.

Similar to movies like "Rudy" in which an unlikely underdog overcomes huge obstacles with patience and persistence, this movie is definitely a good watch. If nothing else, it will make you smile.

Summary: door to door
Review: I was on holiday from the uk to las vegas in July when this premiered on tv.It is without a doubt one of the best tv dramas i had ever seen.Bill macy is Bill Porter and if this was a movie he would get an oscar. I think I laughed many times and cried at least twice. I watch ed it twice before going home and since returning have always checked internet sites to see if its going to be released as a dvd, so i can import it to the uk as i dont think it will be on tv here.
Dont miss this superb tv it will make you feel good about going to work the next day.

Summary: Door to Door
Review: In fact, I was not a kind of movie lover. But when I had watched this movie, I rechecked on my TV guidebook that when it will online again. I don't know who is the actor but I know he did a wonderful job. This movie is the real life of Bill Porter "Door to Door" salesman. I get many point of view from this movie. I watched it twice times on TV and now I'm looking for DVD version to keep remind me that I can do follow my dream, too.
It's very nice to know Mr. Porter although just from the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: William H. Macy gives the perfomance of a lifetime!
Review: It is hard to believe that William H. Macy did not get an Oscar for his performance in this film. The film tells the real life story of a door-to-door salesman named Bill Porter (Macy) who overcomes his challenges with cerebral palsy in order to become the company's most successful door-to-door salesman. Having overcome physical challenges, the movie shows the human side of Bill Porter as it shows the wall of self-independence he has erected and the friendships he develops, and almost loses, as he allows others who care about him to help him and become a part of his life.

This movie is funny, heart-warming, and endearing thanks to what I consider the best performance from William H. Macy ever. A must see movie!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really lovely
Review: Much like 'The Straight Story', this is a sweet, simple, but compelling story of 'patience and perserverance'. William H. Macy and Helen Mirren are wonderful in the principal roles of salesman Bill Porter and his mother. I found myself touched even by the lives of some of the minor characters in the life of this unusual hero. The humor that Bill Porter brought to his situation keeps this from being a simple sob story, and there is just the right amount of drama to keep the story moving along.
