      Audience Member This movie is smashing as Ted Danson Plays Richard Mason telling the story of David MacEnulty Teaching children who want to learn how to play chess, that that not only can do better in the classroom, but also they can do better in life. The way he works with these kids, he not got praise from the kids, but also the school administrators as well as the kids parents & turning one young man that was being looked at & being beaten by gang bangers, giving that child inspiration & hope after the child visits his Dad(Clifton Powell) in prison, to stand up to that gang & telling them basically if you don't leave me alone, my Dad's murderer friends who soon will be released, will be knocking at their door looking for them if they didn't leave him alone. This is by far The BEST role Ted Danson has played since 3 men & a baby with Tom Selleck & Steve Guttenburg. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Good movie indeed !! Inspiring for childrens !! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Heartwarming etc... but ultimately forgettable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A well-executed, inspiring, feel good classroom film. I just love movies like this. A little more than made-for-tvish, but it did my heart good... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Legal, mas ao mesmo tempo cheio de cliches e previsivel... mas vale como licao de vida Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The plot workthrough has a very familiar structure to it, the only difference in this one is that chess is the dominant theme that helps the underpriviliged find meaning and hope. It also has a good feel to it, Ted Danson's character is genuine, and whilst a lot of scenes clearly are manufactured to play with the emotions, it is very watchable.

      David Cornelius DVDTalk.com Stubbornly refuses to rise above its own genre, sticking so closely to the formula that it winds up earning more snickers than applause. Rated: 2/5 Nov 7, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
