So much average

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

this is real take it serious, who will believe that a herb can cure ten years HIV in my body, i never believe that this will work i have spend a lot when getting drugs from the hospital to keep me healthy, what i was waiting for is death because i was broke, one day i hard about this great man who is well know of HIV and cancer cure, i decided to email him, unknowingly to me that this will be the end of the HIV aids in my body, he prepare the herb for me, and give me instruction on how to take it, at the end of the two week, he told me to go to the hospital for a check up, and i went, surprisingly after the test the doctor confirm me negative, i thought it was a joke, i went to other hospital was also negative, then i took my friend who was also HIV positive to the Dr voodoo after the treatment she was also confirm negative .

People can be so mean, so selfish, so unfair, so ignorant! How would you feel if you had AIDS and were mocked, despised, bullied and treated like crap just because of the illness and even go as far as consider it a disease only for homosexuals and transmittable through the air? Do these people ever stop to rethink and think of the person they are treating as one apart? As if that wasn't enough, they go even farther by calling "faggot" to that person's neighbor. If it was like this in 1995, today it's much worse.Unlike the more popular but overrated 'Philadelphia' (with the no less overrated actor Tom Hanks), this one is not boring or dull, it's a really good movie.'The Cure' is a movie that makes you feel good under tragic circumstances! It shows that anyone of us can bring happiness to a fragile person who is suffering from a terminal disease and treat and respect him/her well. If we really want to, we can do it. A disease is no reason to judge someone, what matters is the personality. I really think we all can learn a lot from this film. This unfortunate world and society needs more "Dexters" and "Eriks". This is the story of Dexter, a kid with a heart of gold who has AIDS (which he got from a blood transfusion). His older neighbor Erik quickly becomes his best friend, his idol, his hero and his protector. Erik idolizes him and his mother as well, as Erik has the curse of having a horrible mother. The two boys's quest to find a cure for Dexter's disease is a failure, but at least Erik managed to bring much joy for Dexter's difficult life and was the best thing that ever happened to him. The ending is sad. Dexter doesn't make it. But in real life the actor who portrayed Erik died.Brad Renfro and Joseph Mazzello illuminate the screen with their amazing performances. They make the movie as good as it is. It owes a lot to these two young talented artists.This should definitely be on Top 250.

When the movie "The Cure" starts, we find out about a young man named Erik (Brad Renfro). Erik is a teenage boy living with his paranoid mother, and living next door to him is a young boy named Dexter (Joseph Mazello). One day, Erik and Dexter connect and head up to the supermarket, where Dexter gets his first taste of Butterfinger. When Erik learns out that Dexter has AIDS, he tries leaves-and-water tea to make it better. But when the front cover of The National Enquirer says a New Orleans doctor has found the cure for AIDS, the two boys will stop at nothing to get to New Orleans for the cure.In my opinion, "The Cure" is easily one of the best friendship movies ever made. It shows unconditional love between a boy, his (new) best friend, and his best friend's mom. Everything is so well done, nothing needs to be changed. Not only do I give this a 10/10 for being a fantastic friendship movie, but it also is a sad, but humorous, and fun AIDS movie. And the tragic finale with Dexter's contraction of AIDS is enough to make me shed a tear. Very well done.

When I first reviewed this film, for "Our Mother of the Worthless Miracle" newsletter, I gave it a resounding, "I don't think so!" But, upon that review I've watched it again, and now, I'm happy to say, "Yes I think so!" Let us begin with the story. A delicate bond between the two young men (Brad Renfro and Joesph Mazzello) carry the sentiment in almost homosexual undertones. Call me crazy but that just hits me in the heart. The acting, which, at first glance appeared wooden and stilted,now it is fluid and graceful, like a glass of water dancing with a clown. And, for me, the most overlooked performance in the film is that of Jim.(Played by the poor man's Harvey Kietel, Craig Gierl) He runs with the realism of a pack a day smoker, and his lines, although minimal, breath truth through this cracked, tragic story, all the while brilliantly keeping the homosexual undertones at arms length. Craig Gierl makes this film work for me and cures me of the ailments only this cruel world can offer.
