Ratings and reviews

Great feel good film about a real life remarkable guy, sensitively directed by Tom Shadyac combining humour with pathos. Excellent performances by Robin Williams and Philip Seymour Hoffman. So tragic we have lost them both. :-(

One I could watch again as soon as it's finished. Mix of emotions highs and lows. Robin at his best!

I first watched this film last year and loved every second. Inspirational, heart warming, funny and lighthearted. A must watch.
