Avis sur le produitPay It Forward (DVD, 2001)

Pay It Forward - DVD

I liked this movie much more the first time I saw it, when my child was very young, and my parental "radar" was still a bit less conscious. But when I bought this copy to share with her, I was very glad I pre-viewed it! There's lots of sexy stuff in it (do I REALLY need my 14 year old daughter seeing pole-dancing in a strip club???) and bedroom scenes with unmarried folks. It just doesn't outweigh the positives, to my mind.

The book is a better story (as books always are), but even THAT has LOTS and I mean - LOTS - of sexual stuff, some of it even nastier and more graphic than the movie, so I'd hold off on sharing this with my kids until at least age 16-18.

I think it's a very sad thing that writers seem to believe that gratuitous sex must be incorporated into everything these days in order to "sell" books and movies. Family-oriented choices for good reading and viewing just keep getting fewer and fewer. This story could have been such an excellent as help parents teach their children about giving of themselves to the world and its positive results, but the icky sex stuff just ruins it.Lire l'avis complet...

A great film that really really inspired me to "Pay it Forward"

This was a great value for a great movie! The character development was awesome! I won't tell you any spoilers but this movie is very interesting. If you want to be inspired to help others in ways they don't expect, this is the movie for you. A Social Studies asks his students to write about this:

What can I do to change the World? What can I do to put it to ACTION?Lire l'avis complet...

Pay It Forward DVD

I really like the point of the movie, instead of paying back a kindness someone has shown you, you....pay it forward. Wouldn't the world be a nicer place if everyone practised this. :o) Helen Humt did an excellent job of playing a single Mom who's an alcoholic, trying to raise a 10 year old boy by herself. It was a down to earth movie, with not such a "happy ending" by any means, but the point is, life isn't always fair, yet even bad things can have good in them, if you just look for them. The only thing I didn't like was it had some strong language, not suitable for children.Lire l'avis complet...

Very impressed with the entire transaction and movie!!

This movie was "required" viewing by a very strong team-building consultant. My team consists of 12 managerial employees that work together daily. We had our own "silos" within the same company........our president, a very wise man, hired a consultant to bring us together...........long story short:::: we are the strongest team within the company, work with each other, have each others back, and actually look for the opportunity to help each other out. No such thing as "the hole is in your side of the boat"..........I guess the best way to describe the team building is to say that we went in as workers and coworkers, we are now friends, strong friends and we are having fun!! This movie sets an example for us all to follow, I won't spoil the content but the two hour viewing is superb........my wife and granddaughter are watching it for the sheer enjoyment........I can not say enough good about the movie........now for the transaction!!!, the CD was purchased at an outstanding price, delivered within four days which was completely unexpected, and in like new condition. I could not have been happier with the movie, the transaction but particularly the results.Lire l'avis complet...

One of the most inspiring movies you'll ever see!!!

It's creative, imaginative, realistic, and just plain entertaining!! I've had it for several years, wore it out, and bought another one!!! You can watch it over and over, and cry and laugh every time!! This kid just makes you want to go out and pay it forward every day!!!

The unlikely combo of Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt was a surprisingly excellent match up for this film.... not 'deep', not 'twisted', and maybe even a little 'predictable'..... but COMPLETELY inspiring!! Enjoy!!Lire l'avis complet...

Pay it Forward

This movie is absolutely the best. I love this movie so much I share it with every one. Now I try to Pay it forward! This is a must see movie.

It is a moving story of a young boy who has a mom recovering from alcohol abuse, a father that was abusive. A grandmother that is homeless & starts the pay it forward by helping a robber.

The boys teacher gives the class an assignment to come up with an idea to change the world. He comes up with an idea that we should all help 3 people, they help 3 people & so on.

The cast is unbelievable... Helen Hunt ... Angie Dickenson... the boy from ( "I see dead people"). The story is unforgettable. The actors did a marvelous job.

This is an excellant movie to share with children... especially grade school & teens. The message it sends is clear. Watch it first & decide if it is appropriate for your age child. I got permission from my day care parents to let them all watch it. Then we had a big discussion about it. I had elementary kids before & after school. We live in a rural community. Some things escape our small community... like guns & knives in school, but bullying, death, abuse, single parenting & coping with it, homelessness doesn't.

The whole concept of PAY IT FORWARD is definately a way of life to consider. I have lent this movie out many times. I can't say enough good about it. It really is a must have for your collection of movies.Lire l'avis complet...

Pay It Forward

I have seen this movie before but I am in Perspectives of Substance Abuse class and needed a movie to write a paper on substance abuse for my final. This movie is engaging and the ending will have you in tears and wanting to you to step out and pay it forward to others.Lire l'avis complet...

Great movie for all to see and learn from.

Not just a great movie for all to see, but a great teaching item to be used in our schools today, with great lessons it in for all, both young and old.

Not Many Make It To My Collection! THIS ONE DID!!

What a pleasant surprise this movie was! I avoided seeing it for awhile because of so-so reviews I'd read and also because a friend told me the book was "sentimental and corny". But the movie was very believable and I can't help thinking that the only people who could fail to be moved by it would have to be hard-core cynics. Haley Joel Osmont proves his acting chops yet again (after his acclaimed his role in Sixth Sense), playing a middle-school student named Trevor who has a troubled home life, an alcoholic mother and an erratic, wayward father. When his new teacher, played by the superb Kevin Spacey, gives an imaginative class assignment, daring the students to "change the world" Trevor takes his homework to a new extreme, changing not only his life but that of his teacher. While parts of this movie do challenge the viewer's ability to suspend belief and seem somewhat unreal, it is a rare treat to see such a trio of talented actors come together for such a worthy idea. Don't be surprised to find yourself reaching for the tissues while watching this movie. I was surprisingly moved and heartened by watching it. This movie is worth seeing again and again.

SOLID film! RECOMMENDED for EVERY DVD collection!!Lire l'avis complet...
