MCT:April 23, 2008Even this is not a Van Sant's masterpiece, "Finding Forrester" is 2 hours worth seeing simply for the performances of Connery and Abraham. Forget some of perfect editing, perfect script and storytelling! The film has several other weaknesses to be sure. Much is being made of Van Sant's "discovery" of Robert Brown.
Just enjoy a simple story with nice acting. The message is positive, the feelgood feels good. In the end, however, it is artificial. Van Sant knows how tough life can be. He's been there!
The sweetness of this odd friendship works beautifully as an idea........, but not in reality! -

Althou i only watch frm the middle part of tyhe movie but it is good enough to kept yr interest. Sean connery is as charming as always, not his best performance but the story is good. Meaningfull without elements of boring. Recommended.

Reminded me a lot of Good Will Hunting. So I guess if you liked that you'll like this as well. It was a good film although very cheesy in parts. Sean Connery was excellent as always. Not his best performance but solid and the best in the film. Rob Brown did a good job and played the character well. I expected to see more of Anna Paquin but she only had a small part. The plot was decent but Good Will Hunting was a lot stronger. I thought it odd that Gas Van Sant would choose to do both films with them being so similar. Good Will Hunting is a superior film and although I preferred it, I would still recommend this one as well.

MCT:March 8, 2008When I watched this, I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. I have to admit, this appealed to the writer in me, so it made it that much more real to me.
