"One of my favorite movies until I learned how much an ass Toby McGuire is. "
Rob Paul
"A wonderfully well-made film. Stellar performances all around, particularly Tobey Maguire and especially Michael Caine (I can totally see why he won the Oscar, a respectable choice even if I preferred Tom Cruise in MAGNOLIA). Also strong production values and cinematography as well."

"The classic wholesome family story of orphans, child abuse, systemic racism, abortion, incest, addiction, infidelity, war, disabling injury, fraudulent credentials and overdose"

"Every time I rewatch this movie, it brings tears to my eyes for a different reason. The pain of wanting more out of life, being young and feeling the world at your feet, the guilt behind leaving the ones we love behind to grow, being lost and dissappointed, and going back home. "

"Of course the book was better. This is actually quite a dark story. But the film is good. I enjoyed it."
