As mentioned in my title, people can see a well acted and wholesome movie and be rewarded by the positive messages that are provided within the scenes. Good illustration of people struggling with their handicaps.

If you like Sean Connery
Added 7/1/2009
This is a wonderful movie about a young black boy who is great at basketball and want's to write. Sean Connery plays a reclusive writer who ends up being a great mentor to boy. It is by far a great "feel good" movie.

Finding Forrester, uncovering a gem
Added 6/16/2009
Reflecting on my fondness for the movie, I had hoped to share it with some high school students as a recommended film which inspires courage and overcoming adversity. Thankfully, I viewed the movie again before making the recommendation because the language/sexual reference of the film is strong; not something I would feel comfortable recommending to underage students. But as a parent who feels the language is in context and appropriate for the message, I highly recommend the film (for PG-13 audiences as recommended). Its JD Salinger-like character captures the heart as does the character of Jamal Wallace. The film accurately portrays societal issues of today including issues of race, ageism, schooling and literacy. Sean Connery is (as always) amazing!
