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!

Always loved this film since the first time I watched it as a kid. Fantastic story that is oddly unknown. See it.
