makes my desert island list
moving story of a genius hooligan janitor living in boston who is "discovered" when he solves an unsolvable math problem posted on a white board at MIT. gus van sant's direction is subtle and moving. matt damon is superb; robin williams puts in his best dramatic performance, even Ben Affleck is good! captures boston blue collar spirit accurately and the brilliant soundtrack caps it off.

I've always enjoyed Robin Williams ... until this movie
I had no preconceived ideas about this DVD. All I knew was that Robin Williams was in it, so I expected to be entertained. But it was ages before he turned up and by that time a story that started off promising had become unbearably slow. I also got fed up with nearly every second word of the dialogue being the f word and started to wonder just how brilliant this young man really was when he clearly had a vocabulary every bit as narrow as that of his best friend. I've given the movie two stars simply because of the excellent acting. Maybe it's just me. I loathe books about teenage angst (I find them boring) and there was definitely plenty of angst in this movie. I watched it with my husband, BTW, and he was every bit as bored as I was.

One of my all time favorites
Rob Williams here is the main point. Forget Matt Damon and Ben Afleck's debut (which was simply great) lets concentrate on the man whose wife farted in her sleep. Man, life and the essential details that make it great. This conception of a relationship poured into Williams inspiring acting, couldn't of been less rewarding than by giving him the Oscar for Supporting Actor.

Although life can beat the hell out of you (even with a wrench) you just have to keep positive with it and prove back that you can make anything of it nonetheless.

How do you like them apples now?
