I had goosebumps and tears at the end...which makes this a great movie. I think this is a wonderful story, one that everyone should take note on. I saw myself through the whole thing. Or at least someone I would like to be. Working in retail has taken that side away from me, there are days when I try to be like Hugh (maybe a little less with the compliments and more on the cheeriness) but it usually doesn't last long. Those days are becoming fewer though. Watching this movie made me want to try harder, to do better and be a little more aware.
I think if everyone watched this movie or even was just a little more open to the possibility of that kind of social kindness this world might be just a little better off (minus the dancing and singing in the streets
)
I'm going to try. I'm going to make an effort to remember this movie and use it as an example.
On a note of TJ's acting....I'm going to have to watch it again and again. Each time I'm sure I'll find something else I love but for the first time around....I loved watching him watch Victoria when she explained her background. I loved watching TJ's / Hugh's facial expression when he realized who her mother was.
I'm going to tell everyone I know to watch it.
