It was a mere accident that I saw this movie. I was just flipping through the channels and just happen to stop at Star Movies. It was the scene where Kevin is introduced as a tutor to Max. I don't know what was it, but I bought the DVD of this movie next day.Kieran is has done an excellent job as a handicap boy. I sincerely feel that he is the one who is actually the sole of the movie. Sharon stone is perfect as a mother. Frankly I was not so impressed by Elden Henson as Max in the first half of the movie. But during the later part of the movie I realized that the movie was actually not focusing on him in the first half. He actually takes all the credit away in the last scene where he runs after the Ambulance and reaches that "medical center" about which Kevin lied. A lot of credit goes to the music of the film, which is the essence of the movie. I usually don't watch drama, but after American Beauty, this is the best I have seen.

I love this film. It is so great. I think it's much different than most other movies, especially like how it breaks the movie into multiple different titled chapters. I have read the book and it is just brilliant. It's so sad how Freak died at the end and Max was running barefoot into the research center and then just got down and started crying after he found out it was a laundry place. It is a brilliant movie. I did not cry, but there were probably a lot of people who did. I love this movie. I don't know what my favorite part was. I liked the fireworks part when Max picked up Freak and put him on top of his shoulders because Freak had trouble seeing the fireworks. I also liked when Blade and his gang attacked Freak and Max took the manhole cover and used it as a shield. I especially loved when Freak was playing with his chop suey. You really have to see this movie because it is brilliant, great, touching, and you would just love it.

Two outcasts find friendship and a way out of their difficult lives in 1998's "The Mighty."A young lad with a physical problem befriends a learning disabled young man whose mother was killed by an insane father. They live through the book of King Arthur and the knights of the round table.This book enables them to win out over a gang of school bullies and rescue the learning disabled youth when his father suddenly reappears and kidnap him.When our sickly youth succumbs at the end, his friend is able to go on and write a book.This is a warm story that carries us through adversity.Nice to see that Sharon Stone sacrifices her usual sexy roles to portray the mother of the ill youth.

I first saw this movie back in 8th grade, my school made us watch it on Diversity Day. I loved it then, I love it now. I haven't seen it in a long time, being in my senior year of high school now with less then 20 days till the last day of school & only a little longer till graduation. But I saw it today, on the WB2. I watched it, & I cried as I did when I first saw it, yes I cried freely when I first saw it in school. It is simply put a beautiful film. It's inspiring to all those who have ever been picked on, called different or have disabilities. It's moving & powerful & I don't really consider it a "kiddie" film. I think of it as an everybody film, a family piece. Anyone can watch this movie & it will touch you, move you. You WILL remember it. It's been 5 years since I last saw it till today & I remembered it. Anyone who thinks its sounds cheesy because of the title or because it's typically called a "kid film" or for whatever other reason, they're dead wrong. The actors performances are excellent, the story superb!! I highly recommend this film to absolutely anyone.
