First I want to say that I feel sorry for the other 2 people here who wrote negative views, and that they 'just didn't get it'. I also had to learn to walk again after MY car was T-boned when some idiot ran his red light, and I was deeply inspired by this movie. Although I agree that 'Joys' part in the film was too short, it's only a 2 hour movie-not the books which obviously are more detailed. I am buying his books and this DVD next. I loved the message of this movie, it's one i've been trying to learn myself...to move forward. Even though it hurts for me to sit through even one movie, I sat though this one twice in a row because it was just that good. I recommended it to many people including my best friend, so he took his 9 year old son and they loved it. Thank you Dan Millman for telling your story, for inspiring me and others, and to the producers and actors for doing such a great job. Nick Nolte...you have made an awesome comback! Good for you!

My entire family found this to be quite an inspiring movie. The acting was excellent. Nick Nolte really did a great job... different than anything that I had ever seen him in and playing a very believable part. I actually had a well thought out review typed up earlier and am surprised to see that it was deleted... Instead of writing a new one I will direct you to the personal review by Soul S. Take care.

Read the book about 9 years ago and became a huge Dan Millman fan. They did a great job of capturing the book w/ this movie. Very inspirational

I had absolutely no idea what to expect with this movie, so when it turned out to be some kind of spiritual journey movie I was somewhat surprised in a pleasant way. A little too steeped in the help yourself, and you have all the answers within you kind of stuff for my liking, but all that being said, there were a few good scenes and I honestly did think it was worth my time. Going into it as a person wanting to watch an interesting story might be better than someone who has delusions of enlightenment. :)

I decided to rent this one because sometimes you like inspirational movies and reviewers said it was just that... well i disagree with most of them! It wasn't a bad movie, the best part about it was the old guy... thought it was going to be more than it was... worth watching but it didnt really inspire me. It wasnt bad. I expected more. Its ok. If there is nothing better than get this one.

I also saw this for free and I'm really glad that I didn't waste any money on it. Definitely not something I would recommend running out to see. You don't ever develop any connections to the characters so you really don't care about what happens to him. It could have been a good movie I think, but the writing & the acting were really lacking.
