I don't normally write reviews, I was not planning to write one for this. But after watching this a few days back, I couldn't help but write,this by far is one of the most inspirational movie you will see. I just loved the smiling face of our hero, whatever happens with him he has that smile and he has his companion. I would recommend everyone to watch this movie at least once, if possible more than once.I am not going to dwell into the nitty gritty of acting or directing, because i found everything coming together in the movie. Best thing i felt was that it was all based on true story, it welled up my eyes and i was crying my hearts out all through out this movie

Front of the Class is the inspirational story of Brad Cohen, a man who does not let life's challenges get in the way of his dreams. Brad Cohen has Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder that makes him twitch and make noises constantly. As a young boy, he was made fun of and put down by his classmates and teachers but decided to grow from everything he had endured. Despite all the bullying he endured during his childhood and the trouble he went through with his father, Cohen was determined to live a normal life. He maintained a positive outlook. He decided that when he grew up he was going to be a teacher who would encourage all students and show them that you can do whatever you put your mind to. As an aspiring teacher, I found this movie to be extremely motivational. Brad Cohen found ways to learn and grow from every experience he had. He teaches life lessons to students when they don't even know they are learning the lessons and always finds a way to inspire. Brad shows students that no matter what difficulty they may have in life, they can always find a way to overcome it and be a better person because of it. As His unwavering determination and fiercely positive attitude conquered the difficulties he faced in school, in college, and while job hunting. Brad never stopped striving, and after twenty-four interviews, he landed his dream job: teaching grade school and nurturing all of his students as a positive, encouraging role model. Front of the Class is a very eye opening story. There are so many people in society who don't respect or accept others with disabilities or who are different, it is heart breaking. Brad's story made me realize how anyone can make the best out of any situation. He acknowledges that every person has their own problem or difficulty and tells everyone not to make excuses, to accept the challenges and to grow from the experiences. Never once does Brad blame anyone or anything for Tourette syndrome and is an incredibly strong human being because of it. He made me realize that everybody has obstacles in their life, but it is how a person responds to that obstacle that defines them. When I become a teacher, I want to make sure every student has the chance to learn, and be themselves. PS: if you are Ali A**r, i knew you would google it. you should reconsider trusting us

Front of the class is really a warm and inspiring movie. It taught me that dream was one of the greatest things in the world to lead us to hang on. Though there are bitter sweet memories, like Cohen's disease, one should never be block from pursue their dreams. As an individual, I learned from Cohen that adversity is my teacher, my guide. No matter how worse things go, do not lose faith on yourself. When Cohen's father, his most intimated loved one give up on him, he never lose faith. It is true that someone will laugh at our seemed useless trying. However, we have to believe that hardships will definitely give return.Also, as a human being, we could not change the fact. Whereas, one thing we could change is our attitude which will give us different perspectives. I believe no matter in work or study, there is no block for us. As long as we try, we will gain precious experience and strength. Remember the old saying;'how big your dream is, how expansive the world will be there for you!'

One common denominator of most films dealing with schoolteachers, they're usually quite good but are totally unrealistic. "Front of the Class" falls into this category.Marvelously staged with a wonderful cast, the film deals with a young man afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome who wishes to teach.Based on a true story, the film chronicles the life of Brad Cohen from childhood, where he meets up with unsympathetic teachers. (Naturally, how can they maintain order by having his noises allowed in class?)His father, stoically played by Treat Williams, can't accept the problem and is divorced from mom, Patricia Heaton. Heaton is the diligent mother who researches Tourette's when no one is willing to admit that young Brad is suffering from this illness. Even if they knew, the so called experts don't know how to handle the situation. When Heaton takes Brad to a support group, she quickly pulls him out after hearing a parent saying that schooling these children is a complete waste of time.Of course, Brad grows up wanting to be a teacher to show that all children can learn and to show that he is the teacher who can accomplish this, while giving the dig that none of his teachers ever understood him. Brad, they may have understood you but they had other children to deal with.After getting the run-around, Brad finally lands a job teaching 2nd graders when the assistant principal nudges the principal to hire this young man despite his handicap.Wonderfully, most of the children in the class cooperate while one exceptional child in the class is dying from cancer. Interesting to note that a veteran teacher in the grade "dumped" her most unruly student on Mr. Cohen. Naturally, he is able to handle him because he "understands" him. If only Mr. Cohen came into an urban classroom and saw the realities of the situation.I guess that Mr. Cohen succeeds because he is the most disruptive influence in the class. The film tries to build bridges and urge cooperation and understanding with people having physical handicaps. If society as a whole were only so tolerant, what a perfect world we'd live in.
