The Story
In the most unexpected place, Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown) finds the unexpected friendship and mentorship from the reclusive and eccentric award-winning writer William Forrester (Sean Connery), who is well respected even though he has only published one book. Unknowingly, Forrester finds comfort and a new meaning to life outside of his apartment through this 16-year old high school student who tries to fit in at a local high school by doing just enough to get by. Through standard tests, Jamal demonstrates his academic talents and is given a scholarship to the most prestigious prep school in Manhattan, Mailor-Callow.
Jamal must say good bye to his friends and begin a new academic adventure that will change him and his mentor-friend Forrester forever. At Mailor-Callow, Jamal meets Claire Spence (Anna Paquin) who shows him around the school and helps him adjust to the environment of "double commas" kids (you just have to hear the explanation from Jamal). In addition, he needs to prove himself to the obnoxious and presumptuous Professor Crawford (F. Murray Abraham). Jamal's friendship and loyalty will be tested, and life-long lessons are never too late to learn.
Video & Audio
The image quality of this anamorphic widescreen DVD is very good. The colors are accurate and saturated, with good shadow details. The Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound is well balanced and effective, though with minimal use of the surround sound channels.
Recommendation
Sean Connery and newcomer Rob Brown shine in this movie that beautifully portrays the meaning of friendship and loyalty. I love this film's message about finding friendship in the most unexpected place and discovering brotherly love and nurturing undiscovered talents.
