VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Li Zhineng The inspiring movie which based on real story has a great scenario but little expression, but it doesn't mean the movie is not wonderful, it gives us a lot of positive energies. The heroine, Liz Murray who grows up in a broken home with two drug addicted parents who do nothing for her and her sister. So you can imagine how hard she is to be homeless. After her mother dies of AIDS, she wakes up, and realizes her potential. She goes to a good school and through her hardworking, she becomes the top student of the school, catches up to do 4 years of school work in two years. She gets a NY Times scholarship to attend Harvard at last. What's amazing how a person can achieve when he determined. Liz is just an inspiration to all of us. So nothing is impossible. Never ever give up whatever you are in period of gloom. Don't waste time, just do it! To live is to dream, for a better tomorrow!

impointingtowardsyourface How is being homeless a disadvantage? I can understand the feeling of social outcast, but I think that is norm in today's society. They make it out to be that the main focus in life is money. I can understand wanting to achieve things when you're brought up in an environment where your "guardians" supposedly are the worst kind of people. This movie honestly just makes me want to vomit in how it views success and how it views possibilities and goals and hope in general. It makes it seem hope is something that you can find through hard work and going to college or writing a piece of literature about yourself that frankly isn't that original. If you want some good autobiography work check out... James Frey (even if bits are fictional he's a hell of a writer), Running with Scissors (not the movie, the book), Kerouac (I think in every piece of his work he has parts that are drawn from his live) or just something effing else

morenet A story for everyone. Her story shows true bravery, courage and intelligence.As I've read other reviews I saw some which questioned the ending....why didn't she finish Harvard?This is a story about Liz. This 'story' is only a part of her life as was attending Harvard. I doubt she stopped learning.The well-done story ended, but Liz, I'm sure, is doing her thing.I do look forward to hearing the 'rest of the story' just to know how many people she has touched and changed by her example.Just from this short story many people can learn to be better at liking or loving someone unconditionally.Many of us felt all the emotions when watching this story unfold--but we'll always appreciate not having lived it.It is a rare individual like Liz which takes this path--where every minute and every step in her day uncovered an incredible 'woman'. God bless her.

Stressqueen What a waste. How such an incredible story could be allowed to be let down with such shoddy direction and terrible dialogue is completely beyond me. If Liz Murray is such a genius why on earth did she approve this script? A bit more development (and a new director) would have done justice to and made this piece more deserving of it's central theme.Thora Birch was good but the other performances were two dimensional at best - again I think as a result of the inexperienced direction. Kelly Lunch as her mother was overly dramatic and on the whole unconvincing.One plus is that the pace and momentum really works - the film ticks along nicely.
