2.0 out of 5 stars
un DVD sans pochette originale,
This review is from: Finding Forrester (DVD)
Je suis non satisfait car c'est la premiere fois qu'une commande d'achat d'un film sur DVD m'est envoyé sans être dans la pochette d'origine. Je n'accepte pas avoir recu ce DVD dans une pochette non originale qui de plus est une pochette de CD (cheap).

Okay but not great,

This review is from: Finding Forrester (DVD)
Although this movie didn't engage me as much as most of Connery's movies, I still enjoyed it, and he's still excellent as the crusty but reclusive writer who takes a brilliant young black kid under his wing and nurtures his writing talent. Rob Brown is also excellent in the role and surprisingly good since he is apparently a non-actor. The relationship that develops between the two unlikely friends grows out of their love of books and writing, and they come to like and respect each other despite the cultural and generational gap that exists between them. F. Murray Abraham is also great playing the villain as usual who wrongly attempts to get Rob expelled for an infraction, when Connery suddenly comes to his aid at the climax. This reminded me of the final scene in "Scent of a Woman" in which Al Pacino comes to the aid of Chris O'Donnell at his exclusive New England private school. A little piece of trivia--did anybody notice the ending music during the credits with the Jamaican steel drum band? It was the same music used during the credits in the Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek movie, Badlands, about two serial killers in South Dakota back in the 50's. I loved that music but have no idea about how to get ahold of it, and I was amazed to find it by chance in this movie. The only reason I don't give the movie more stars is that it just doesn't seem to get off the ground dramatically, but maybe I just don't appreciate the director's naturalistic, low-key style, since that could have been what he intended. Overall, however, it's still a good flick and worth seeing if you're a Connery fan like me.

Essential for every movie collection,

This review is from: Finding Forrester (DVD)
First saw this film on a flight from Greece to the U.S.; as long as the trip was, watching "Finding Forrester" made it incredibly enjoyable. I purchased the DVD as soon as I could and shared it with my family. So far, everyone I've recomended it to has loved it. You will laugh, you will cry, you will be changed forever.
