Wow! Such a good movie.

Pretty Good

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This is the best movie since I ever seen which is positive and fantastic.The girl's father is a intemperant and her mother is a woman who doesn't care about her own daughter, so at first the girl went out to play and smoked everyday.She studied very careless and had no hope about her life . But after her parent died,everything changed. She began to leave her bad friends far away and studied hard. When she told her friends that she wants to go into college and the college is Harvard,almost everyone said ,"you are crazy!" She didn't care about the query ,she just kept studying hard. She is homeless but full of hope, she just has one dream that she wants to go into Harvard. She has no money to pay for the tuition and finally she got a special scholarship because of her hard working . Yes,finally she succeed and she changed her life by her own. After watching this movie, i think maybe everyone can change their life themselves,even no parents affording. There are too much things that we don't like or don't want ,but we can't choose by ourselves. Anyway you can make your life to be the shape like your imagination. It's a fantastic movie especially for teenagers in my opinion.Every time you face some difficulties you can not stand ,then you will think about this movie, to make you cheer up!

One of the few movies I've seen that truly talks about the problems that many societies around the globe are suffering from. It also goes to show you how far you can go if you are determined on something. So, you can really make a change if you put your mind into it. And it goes to show you that there is always hope for a better tomorrow. You just have to work hard for it. We all face problems of various degrees. But whatever the problem may be, we can face it with strong belief and strong will. Be someone and make your life and all the world around you a better place. I loved the movie, the story, the music, and, on top of all, the performance of Thora Birch. In my opinion, it is a must see.

I was really moved by this story, even more so when I realised it was based on a true story! I thought that Thora's acting as Liz was really great and she had me routing for Liz to pull through and make it.It was really inspiring (so much so that I wrote a song straight after watching it!) and it teaches that you should never give up on yourself. OK, so Liz made it to Harvard and not everyone will be that lucky, but Harvard isn't for everyone and the message is really to set yourself a goal that you think you just might be able to attain and then go for it! It was a shame that UK television saw fit not to put it on at a reasonable time as it was aired late on Monday night and finished after 1:00am. I really only caught it by chance, but was very glad that I did.

I was expecting this movie to be really good. Just by watching the previews of it made it sound like it was interesting, and boy was it. Thora Birch does an excellent job of portraying Liz Murray, a young woman who beats all the odds. She grows up in a broken home with two drug addicted parents who do nothing for her or her sister. Kelly Lynch is amazing as a mother with serious problems. The story really draws you in and it's sad. You want to feel sorry for her, but then you also wonder why she didn't pick up her life earlier than she did. I am so glad I watched this movie. It was truly inspirational.
