Freedom Writers

Anyone seen this one? Heard about it? Is it any good?

They show it without dubbing this week in my fave theater, so I might just go. Patrick Dempsey. Yay! Deb, this one might give a little guidance for "Probation", don't you think?

I'd love to see Patrick Dempsey on Big Screen here, but my purse currently says no to cinema visits, so I'm afraid, I can't. Have to wait for the DVD.

Didn't hear much about it beyond the usual IMDb crap that it's just exactly like Dangerous Minds. If I had a penny for everytime someone on IMDb said that I could build my own island off the coast of Dubai!

To tell the truth, the trailer didn't turn me on. And since I'm not ga-ga for McDreamy, I just didn't see any reason to run out and see it. Especially true since it was out here at the same times as AD, and that's absolutely all I cared about.

I saw this movie and I actually enjoyed it. I didn't go for McDreamy though. Don't really think he's all that cute.

But the movie itself was great. Although I find the book to be a little better.

I've decided to watch it on Friday afternoon. I'll let you know what I thought about it afterwards. Haven't read the book. Didn't even know it was based on one. And just for the record: I like Patrick Dempsey, but I don't think he's a cutie. Not backup guy material. In fact, I don't think any of the Grey's Anatomy actors is--at least for me. Give me an Eddie Cahill any day.

Same here. Except that my backup guy would be David Krumholtz from Numb3rs.

I should clarify. I've always liked Patrick Dempsey as an actor. Ever since he was a teenager. And he's plenty cute enough. He just wasn't motiovation enough for me to spend $9 on a movie. But I'll probably watch in cable.

I'm behind on this one, but I just saw it. I love this movie. It's not ground breaking, but as a true story it's seriously amazing. I have to read the book now...

This is pretty high on my "DVDs to buy" list.

The movie Freedom Writers is really good. I saw it with my parents.

domesticelefant · 18 Dec 07 :: 21:09

Next month. I think I'll give it to me as a birthday present to myself.

That's cool Anne. ;]

I liked the movie.. but then I tend to like movies regarding teachers making a difference and enriching students' lives because I want to become a teacher some day.

"To Sir, With Love" was another great film on a similar genre/subject matter. "Dangerous Minds" was cool too, hahahaha.

Stand And Deliver is my favorite teacher story.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 06 Jan 08 :: 07:28

I really like the Great Debaters. It was a great movie!! Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker, are amazing!!!!

notsofairytale · 06 Jan 08 :: 09:15

I've seen "Stand and Deliver," but not "The Great Debaters." I think I shall check that out. Thanks for mentioning the film, Melody.

No problem. Its really cool but kinda long. I didn't even notice it was a little over 2 hours until after the movie was over. It went by pretty fast for me.
