Pay It Forward (2000)
very good adaptation of the book.
I watched this movie, before reading the original book and surprisingly, i found myself liking the movie better! never have i had this experience before, but i must say, that the story behind Eugene's disfigurements was more interesting than Reuben (the book character's name) who was a war veteran. I also think that although the character of Reuben/Eugene was meant to be played by a black man, Kevin Spacey was perfect for the role and you could not have chosen a better actor to play it. Helen Hunt also did very well as Arlene McKinney and really represented the character how she was meant to be, based on the book, which is a rather difficult thing to do. I think that although the film and book differed to a certain extent (as all film adaptations do), the film kept the sentimental quality of the book and in the movie Trevor doesn't get to meet the president which I find to be more realistic rather than a story book fairytale idealism. Overall, i recommend both the book and the movie.
Impromptu (1991)
Really awesome movie.
I absolutely loved this movie. It was really enjoyable. The other thing that i would have against it, was that no one ever called Chopin by his first name. Which was really unusual, as everyone else was addressed by their first name, and friends don't really call their friends by their last name. If only they had called Chopin, Frederic, then i wouldn't have a single thing to say against it. I thought that the acting was done very very well, and all of the actors portrayed very believable and at times very funny characters. Malfie certainly provided a lot of laughs, as did most of the other characters. I highly recommend this film to everyone, and i give it a 10/10.
