I really liked this movie. It was deep. I initially wasn't sure I was going to like it. It was much better than expected. It goes into the meaning of life and what we should expect from it. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreI rented this movie because I had read the book several years ago, which I liked very much. Since this movie sort of falls into the category of "spiritual cinema", I wasn't expecting much out of the acting. I rented it solely because I had read the book. By the end of the movie, I was very impressed with all of it. This movie was entertaining, moving, and inspirational. I also thought the acting was wonderful. Even my huband enjoyed it (much to his surprise as well). Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreOver the years, I've seen elements of this story in other movies but that didn't detract from this one in the least. The cast was very good (Nolte is becoming a fine character actor), movie quality was great, gymnastics scenes were awesome and just the right touch of humor to go along with a few lessons on living in the here and now. I loved it. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

A really heartfelt movie. I highly recommend this one. If you pay close attention, it mirrors the Bible. Good to see Nick Nolte in fine form. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

You fill in some of the blanks yourself.
It was a good, inspirational, positive movie.
I kind of see it as "The Karate Kid" meets the "Ultimate Gift". Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreNick Nolte's use of allegory, I don't think I've ever watched a movie more for your soul and self awareness than this movie. I've read books that really touch me, but never a movie like this one. This is a "MUST SEE" movie. It will open your eyes and touch you soul, like no other movie. It only goes to show you what we take for granted everyday, earth and all that is in it. Not to mention Nick's character was great. Please see this movie!!! Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

Just dreadful. A reminder not to rent based on reviews found here. A short surf over to rottentomatoes could have saved me. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
