I almost never laugh at the movies, because i have such a good sense of hmour ,almost all the others jokes lokslame for me.AThis movie make me laugh so many times.I used to rather cry at the movies , but living in Romania , after the involutio from 1989 i reach the grade nothing make me cry.This movie make me cry like a baby.The screenplay is a masterpiece.Actors are brilliant.American movies in the last 40 years can't make a normal human been smile even if is tickled (except some sitcoms) about crying , they c'ant make movies with a little bit of dramatism , tears are excluded , and the spaniols make the people laughing out loud and crying like babyes in the same movies.Thas because spaniols make cinema and americans make commerce

Having my own health issues, seeing sport as a way to get through them, I have been deeply touched by this story. Beyond the triathlon idea, and beyond the multiple sclerosis, the feelings shared by the characters of the movie with the others make this a great movie. And as this is based on a true story, you have got to watch it!

100 meters was a great movie! I think it really captured the story of Ramon Arroyo. His story is so captivating and motivating and truly incredible. I am an avid runner and this movie among many others helped motivate to get out of the house and go for a run! I think everyone should watch this movie. The direction by Marcel Barrena was really to the point and showed the ups and downs of his struggle to complete the ironman with this disease. All in all one of my favorite movies I've seen in a while.
