Or maybe 10 stars?
Matt Damon and Ben Afleck shot to stardom after writing and also starring in this moving tale of two working-class friends in south Boston. Damon plays a math genius working as a janitor. The best role, however, in every sense of the word, is Robin Williams' star turn as the psychologist (he won an Oscar for it) who tries to get through Damon's tough-guy shell. The mystery is HOW two nobodies as young as Afleck and Damon were when they wrote this could possibly be wise and insightful enough to write a character of such depth and complexity. I guess it's called genius.
If you somehow have managed to miss this one, rent it now. Like, RIGHT NOW.

Absolutely Superb
I first saw this movie on T.V. a while ago, and thought that it was a very good movie. Then, I rented it and watched it more closely and now find it to be one of my favorite movies. Matt Damon is good as Will Hunting, a mathematical-genius janitor, but Robin Williams gives the all-star performance as Sean McGuire, the psychologist who helps him. While there is a lot of bad language and sexual dialogue, the meat of the plot is absolutely superb, shown by the Academy Award given to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for writing the screenplay. This movie hooks the watcher and makes him/her really care about what happens to the characters. There are funny parts, dramatic parts, and emotional scenes that can push one over the edge. Overall, one of the best movies I have ever seen. A definite must-see.

Good Will Hunting
First off I'd like to clarify that I'm really not a big fan of drama movies given a few exceptions. Good Will Hunting is indeed one of them. Not really knowing much about it and unaware of the props it had receiced, I watched it one evening when it came on TV. It was amazing.

The movies is about a boy named Will (Matt Damon) who with his friends, drinks, goes in and out of jobs, and tends to get in a fair amount of trouble. After he goes to jail he is let out on two conditions: he continues to educate himself and he sees a psychiatrist (Robim Williams). From there the movie takes off as both Williams and Damon begin to hatch away at the parts of their lives that have deeply affected them both.

The acting is superb and the overall feeling by the time the movie is over is just amazing. Like I said I'm not one to get emotional over a movie but by the time this one is over you can't help but to crack a smile.
