Gail Exceptional acting and poignant moments throughout Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review matthew w A simply outstanding movie with acting to match by all the cast, the late great Robin Williams leads the show with what can only be described as a beautiful performance as Sean Maguire, who's in trusted to unlock the mind of a troubled genius. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review Rowan C Good Will Hunting was a very good movie and this is something that all men should watch at least once in their lifetime. Will Hunting who is played by Matt Damon is a genius kid that makes stupid decisions in life. He gets arrested all of the time, lives in a horrible house and has his friends drive him around everywhere. This all changed when Professor Gerald Lambeau who is played by Stellan Skarsgard noticed that Will was the only one ever to solve the impossible theory in the hallway of a prestigous school. Will was arrested for assault and it was shown that he was able to get out on many other felonies because he was that smart. Gerald Lambeau decided to get Will out of jail by the terms of getting supervised by the professor and seeing a therapist at least once a week. All of the therapists quit on Will because all he did was insult them but one therapist came through and that was Sean Maguire who is played by Robin Williams. Sean basically teaches Will that all though he knows everything by book, he knows nothing about the real world and the experiences that come with it. During this process, Will meets a girl named Skylar who is played by Minnie Driver and their relationship started out as great. Will drove her away because he was scared about what the future would be like if he actually came to California with Skylar while living in Boston for his whole life. The sessions started off bad when Will was insulting Seans' dead wife but they quickly became close after Sean played Wills' game of not caring if Will didn't either. They went through very emotional sessions together and the Professor was setting up job interviews that Will kept failing on purpose. One of Wills' friends Chuckie Sullivan who is played by Ben Affleck tells him that the best part about his day is getting out of the car and walking up the steps just to only hope that Will will not answer because he has a gift. Chuckie tells Will that he would do anything for his gift and that Will should not waste another second of his life wasting it. This really stuck with Will and at the end of the movie, he ends up going for an interview. The last session concludes between the two and right before Will leaves with his new car that his friends got him, he leaves a note in Seans' mailbox. The letter said that Will had to go see about a girl, and Sean said "Damnit, he stole my line" which was great to see. Will told Skylar that he didn't love her earlier in the movie but at the end he realized that love is special. At the end of the movie, Will is seen driving to California to be with the woman that he loves. Overall, a very heartfelt movie with an even better cast and the character development we got to see from Will was just spectacular to witness. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Lucas G I just watched this movie for the first time after being told by friends that I was missing out and I can tell you I wasn’t disappointed. This movie makes you emotional at times while still entertaining you in a positive way. This movie can cause you to reflect on yourself and think about what your doing with your life. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Ben S I want nothing more than to give this movie a five-star rating. I can’t even begin to capture the beauty it portrays. Robin Williams and Matt Damon play their roles so perfectly it feels as if they can read each other’s minds, as though they’ve truly lived the lives of their characters. This movie will pull on every heartstring you possess. I cannot stress enough how much everyone needs to watch it—it will change you, and that change will undoubtedly be for the better. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Pip S Simple movie with clever dialogues, very enjoyable, movies you hardly come across anymore. The addition of Robin makes it even better. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
