    Admirable and moving tale of the strength of the human soul and the importance of the people that actually care about us and help us in the most difficult moments of our lives. A triumph.

    The first time I saw this one I was in love with it and Derek Luke he is a cutie. The story is about a orphan boy who went through hard times while growing up, wondering about his family and where he really came from....and then searching for them and what happens aftter he finds then. Great acting by Derek Luke.

    An uplifting, but gritty film about the true-life sufferings of a young boy and his coming of age. He overcomes his fears and struggles to find love in this touching drama.

    Never got a chance to finish it... after I saw the part with that teen female making him have sex with her in the basement, I laughed and left the room. Let's just say I wasn't invited back in, lol.

    A remarkable tale based on a true story, I was gripped from start to finish. Derek Luke, I thought played a fantastic part and it was a good performance from Denzel too, who also Directed the film.

    An emotional account of how someone's present circumstances are a result of their past, facing your fears and forgiving to enable you to move on.

    VERDICT: A great film which I definitely recommend.

    Wow... What a good movie and just think it was all real, based on the life of Mr Fisher himself, Derek Luke brought this character to life, awesomely done. Just watching this, I felt alot of what he was going through, I just felt his character... the family scene towards the end was emotionally hard to watch without tearing up. Love this movie.
