Ratings and reviews

What a good movie this is! Even though I'm more of a fan of blood & guts, shoot 'em and blow it up type of movies I found this to be a great movie. This is a nice movie that the whole family can watch. Great story, excellent acting and delightful scenery all make this worth seeing. Go ahead and watch it now and you might want to see it on the "Big Screen" later.

Morgan Freeman is excellent in this movie playing a cantankerous man who is hiding a soft heart under the facade. I love movies that make me both laugh and cry. Well done!

Looking for a really good feel good movie? Look no farther than "The Magic of Belle Isle" Morgan Freeman is stellar in this role. It is uplifting and inspirational. The film is touching. It touched me on so many levels. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for this film.
