Excellent! All actors did an awesome job. The movie isn't as bad as the book. It's very toned down in comparison. The most powerful scene in the movie is at the end. Very eye opening flick! Highly recommend.

I really wanted this to make me emotional... the acting was superb, but overall it came off more humerus in some parts then inspirational.

This movie is so good because it makes me feel so bad. It makes me hate men, mothers, the welfare system, the education system and fathers. It almost makes me lose all hope and just sob and sob. Hopefully the real world works the same was as the fict... (read more) This movie is so good because it makes me feel so bad. It makes me hate men, mothers, the welfare system, the education system and fathers. It almost makes me lose all hope and just sob and sob. Hopefully the real world works the same was as the fictional and all turns out for the best..in the wort case I guess I'll just keep on sobbing

Didn't like it...was too disturbing!!!

Saw it today...OK but not what I thought it would be.I don't know what all the hype was for, I've seen better!!!!

Really, really well acted

A hybrid, a mash-up that might have been ungainly, but that manages to be graceful instead.

This is a fine movie, and a deep one. It's about unearthing buried treasure.

Daniels may be indulging in stunt casting, and slamming plot points home with sledgehammer subtlety, but the film's milieu and characters feel alarmingly real. And its story ends up packing an emotional wallop.

The film is a tribute to Sidibe's ability to engage our empathy. Her work is still another demonstration of the mystery of some actors, who evoke feelings in ways beyond words and techniques.

Winfrey, Perry and Daniels make an unholy triumvirate. They come together at some intersection of race exploitation and opportunism.
