good movie, heart-warming, and reality look at the homeless situation in LA, and most likely world-wide - don't judge book by it's cover. respect for human kind, and be kind to thy neighbour...go see it, we need a reminder sometimes.

Don't bother going to see it, the first hour was so dragged out, going nowhere fast. Do not go see this movie at the Empire Theatre in Wpg, unless you have impeccable hearing, the movie was puncuated with every background noise, hum and generally made it completely hard to hear, not sure if this was the fault of the theatre or the movie, probably a bit of both. Most movie makers are completely oblivious to fact that all this background noise is a problem for people with even a slight hearing impairment, an impairment that prevents them from blocking out the sound to pick up the speech. Is all this background noise necessary, if it is turn it down a bit!

I wish I could say this is more like a good educational movie to get people's attention with regard to homelessness, but the story plots are sooo boring which made it totally unattractive to be watched as a movie!

WHile the performances were great - the movie lacked any direction and coherent vision

it was an amazing film, shows the relationship between men (intimacy), and the complexities of wellness/coping and how society reacts and stigmatizes it in the end a person... so beautiful.. shows the helplessness of lopez (robert downey jr), and the resilience and brilliance of nathanial ayers (jamie foxx). its time for real mental illness to be recognized from a poverty/race perspective... move over brilliant mind... this is it!
