NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Liloh I liked the concept of the Movie, even if I m so far from being "old" whatever that means these days. The message of the Movie is simple; respect the Elder ones, don't forget what they have done for you and don't push them in Retirement Homes and if then look after them. I don't get why Folks who watched the Movie didn't catch the Message.Another message is that; don't under estimate People who are mentally handicapped, they are special in their own way what Gideon in the Movie shows. They are simple minded but special. Don't look away, listen to them and you ll even learn from them. This has nothing to do with "Clichees" I was not at all surprised by Christpoher Lambert acting in and as Gideon.Just because there is no action, no car chases, no special effects, doesn't mean its not worth watching. Wonderful performances and an interesting story. Liloz advice; Its important to be reminded that little things in life count, what this Movie actually shows.

scholara2 I thought this was a simple and heart warming story. The lead character played by Lambert reminded me of the characters played by Tom Hanks in "Forrest Gump", and Peter Sellers in his last film "Being There" I liked pretty much every character in the film, except the maintenance man. He let Gideon chop all that wood while he sat back and drank beer, and had a hardy laugh at the guy's expense when he found out Gideon couldn't read ("you're as dumb as a rock").I liked the way Lambert played his character, always hinting there was more than meets the eye.I like Lambert, from his portrayal of Tarzan in the only movie that was a realistic adaptation of the ERB novel, and too bad he hasn't had a more visible career in Hollywood.Anyway, I think this movie stands on its own merits.

kturner-4 This film is a delightful mix of fun moments, poignant moments, and sad moments, all tied together beautifully by possibly the greatest cast assembled for one film in the last decade. "Gideon" highlights some of America's most loved actors along with an absolutely inspired performance by Christopher Lambert. Add to this a strong performance by Mykelti Williamson and you have one very enjoyable film that can be enjoyed by persons of all tastes and ages. The only disappointing thing about this movie is that it didn't get released to theatres here in the U.S. and is not even for sale here! Not understanding the reasons for this, it makes this viewer very upset. Keeping a jewel such as this from the American movie-going public is a crime! Here is a movie that the "family-movie" distributors should have snapped up--and they need to wake up and do so. Kudos to Lambert and writer Brad Mirman for making us care, really care, about these characters.

carolinabk This is a wonderful movie that I could watch over and over! If you have not seen this movie, take the time to watch a wonderful performance by Christopher Lambert, Charlton Heston, and the rest of the cast!
