Ricca S One of the most heartwarming and memorable movies of all time imo. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Audience Member William H. Macy sparkles in this biopic of Bill Porter, a Watkins door-to-door salesman who overcomes a cerebral palsy handicap in the unforgiving 1950s. Crisp writing, a scintillating support cast, humor, and vintage radio ads highlight this period piece that never wallows in maudlin. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review ricca s One of the best home movies of all time. Very heartwarming. A bit scared to watch it again as it was hard to recover from the first time I watched it. William H Macy is an exceptional character actor. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I use it as a learning tool to all of our Sales Consultants. Very inspiring. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A fantastic movie - I can see it over and over again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely sappy and a tearjerker but still great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
