    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com essential video
    Robin Williams won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck nabbed one for Best Original Screenplay, but the feel-good hit Good Will Hunting triumphs because of its gifted director, Gus Van Sant. The unconventional director (My Own Private Idaho, Drugstore Cowboy) saves a script marred by vanity and clunky character development by yanking soulful, touching performances out of his entire cast (amazingly, even one by Williams that's relatively schtick-free). Van Sant pulls off the equivalent of what George Cukor accomplished for women's melodrama in the '30s and '40s: He's crafted an intelligent, unabashedly emotional male weepie about men trying to find inner-wisdom.

    Matt Damon stars as Will Hunting, a closet math genius who ignores his gift in favor of nightly boozing and fighting with South Boston buddies (co-writer Ben Affleck among them). While working as a university janitor, he solves an impossible calculus problem scribbled on a hallway blackboard and reluctantly becomes the prodigy of an arrogant MIT professor (Stellan Skarsgård). Damon only avoids prison by agreeing to see psychiatrists, all of whom he mocks or psychologically destroys until he meets his match in the professor's former childhood friend, played by Williams. Both doctor and patient are haunted by the past, and as mutual respect develops, the healing process begins. The film's beauty lies not with grand climaxes, but with small, quiet moments. Scenes such as Affleck's clumsy pep talk to Damon while they drink beer after work, or any number of therapy session between Williams and Damon offer poignant looks at the awkward ways men show affection and feeling for one another. --Dave McCoy

    4 out of 5 stars Must see   March 13, 2010
    Brian Wong
    This movie is a must see. Its so hard to believe that the entire movie was made on such a low budget. This was Matt Damon's big start into movies, along with Ben Afflect. Ben is nothing to write home about in this movie but Damon is excellent. This movie is all about the plot; not the scenary or special effects.


    4 out of 5 stars Turned out to be a decent film, but...   March 7, 2010
    Myles O'Brien (Rhode Island, USA)
    1 out of 2 found this review helpful

    One of my friends is poor. I mean he serially lacks money, coin, cash, call it what you will. He has been sleeping on my downdownstairs couch (my home is large and contains several levels known colloquially as "downstairs") for the last three months, and I, patience thinning, have begun to suspect that he plans on staying for ever, or at least until the estate is sold, or until my death. Timely, I hope. I begin to suspect. . . No, that's rude of me. Back to what I was saying: laziness, endless laziness on his part. I have encouraged him to seek employment, even part-time, and while he nods his head and occasionally takes to his bicycle in search of job interviews, to my eye no progress has been made. All his days are spent lounging, playing video games on my gigantic television, sampling my cellar stocked with wine and harassing Mr. Futtlesworth, my blue Great Dane, pride of the pack and of my life, too. O what a dog!

    Being a person generous with time and money, and wanting to see friends succeed (what is it Republicans say? ah yes, to 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps,' I think, or something like that), I endeavored to purchase for my sorry friend a product or three which may spur him to reach heavenward for the stars, up up and away toward his highmost dreams, or at least to steal away to some motel somewhere, safely out of my hair -- what's left of it now. It was with all this sloshing around in the ol' braincrate that I purchased Good Will Hunting on DVD, what I took to be a self-help-guide-cum-inspiration DVD narrated by Academy Award(tm) winner Robin Williams and Jason Bourne. Well! It was not at all what I took it for. Contrary to my expectations, this was a normal, though at times inspiring, film. I decided it would suit my purpose just as well, and why not? A young genius janitor from Southie with a knack for pure mathematics and an eidetic memory falls in love with an English trust fund baby with good teeth. Turns out our boy genius was abused as a child and could not trust people. So they send him to a guy who makes it all better. Ms. Goodteeth goes off to California and boy genius follows not long after. Uplifting enough, I supposed. I gave to my inert friend the DVD, hoping it would spark inside him some desire to lift himself from the hole in which he resides.

    No such luck.

    Still he sleeps on my downdownstairs couch, still he games all day, still Mr. Futtlesworth has his ears pulled. Bottom line, trust this film to inspire lazy freeloaders at your own risk.



    5 out of 5 stars Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector's Series)   January 23, 2010
    Arnita D. Brown (USA)
    A janitor at MIT, Will Hunting has a gift for maths that can take him light-years beyond his blue-collar roots, but to achieve his dream he must turn his back on the neighborhood and his best friend. To complicate matters, two strangers enter the equation: a washed-up shrink who starts to coach Will through his transformation, and a med student who shows him that there can be a pretty face along with his life of the mind. The performances are all first class. The script is a jewel. A movie that is beautiful in its own way.

    I never received the product and when I contacted the seller it took them 3 days to send me a form email saying they had 2 weeks to send the product (it had been 20 days since I ordered it). Amazon refunded my money promptly, however I will NEVER buy or attempt to buy as it turns out, a product from inetvideo again!!!

    I watched this movie because Robin Williams played a role in it. I dislike both Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, but I was willing to give it a shot regardless.

    It was horrific. It's like someone crashed together A Beautiful Mind with Finding Forrester but left out the heart of either. The protagonist was totally unlikeable, and the lines that were built up as revelatory, genuine, and inspiring were in fact cliched garbage. Robin did what he could with the lines they gave him, and I can't really say any of the leads performed poorly in the film, but what they delivered (however adroitly) was trash.

    If you want a totally mindless movie about someone smart winning some respect in spite of his ridiculously obnoxious personality, then go ahead and buy Good Will Hunting.
