Tru Confessions

I used to love the disney channel when i was younger but since I have reached my teens I have found the channel not to be that great until this movie came on. This has got to be the best disney channel movie I have ever seen. It was touching and it was realistic and it showed people what its like to live with a developmentally disabled person. It also showed how cruel people can be to people with disabilities. It was an amazing movie and I would recommend it to anyone. (Beware though because if you are anything like me you are going to cry.)

I really liked Shia LaBeouf in this movie--he protrayed a handicapped person very well. But Tru's attitude was a lot worse in the movie than in the book. She was a total jerk in the movie, but not as much in the book.

This movie was really touching, and I loved the part where Billy Meier fell in the lake!!!

Disney is in the entertainment business, and the concept behind Disney original movies is just that- entertainment. But this movie is different...and the main reason is Shia LaBeouf. This kid, if guided the right way, has got a future and a half...the premise behind the movie could have been sickly sweet, but the actors did a great job of portraying the situation of a developmentally-challenged young adult(played superbly by Shia) and how it affected his family...the other subplots helped add to the movie's substance...subjects like peer pressure, parent/child conflict, even parental guilt, are dealt with in a realistic and meaningful way...and Shia's performance is nothing short of amazing...he creates Eddie Walker as a real-life person trying to make his way, with wonderment at times and frustrating behavior at others...this is a Disney original that should be out on video...so those who haven't seen it on TV can see it now...and, an added benefit, listen closely for the song played during Tru's video...it's "Secret World" by Robbyn Ragland...and it's great...it's nice to know that Disney is still capable of this kind of quality production...

I admit it, movies about disabled people drive me absolutely crazy. While watching films such as "i am sam" or "Tru Confessions" I feel an overwhelming amount of sympathy for the disabled character. What makes these movies even more unbearable, is the discrimination these characters face in the real world. Now, as unbearable as they are to me, I feel I should note that these movies are priceless treasures. "Tru Confessions" Rates as one of the only 10 movies that has ever made me cry. Shia Labeouf plays the tender role of Eddie the disabled little brother of Tru, a girl trying to figure out her life in the middle of parents who won't listen or don't care and a little brother she is forced to defend and watch out for. This is a great example of powerful acting and a driving story. Shia, my man, excellent work. I haven't seen this kind of acting from a young man your age since...I can't remember. Clara Bryant, excellent work also.

Watch for this film. I think we all know Disney's replay reputation, I'm sure you'll run into it at some point.

To be quite honest with you Disney movies are not my personal favorite thing to view do to the fact they are based usually for kids from 5-14 years of age. Being that IM 24 years old I do not fall into there age bracket nor do I want too ... then I watched this movie for no good reason other then being bored and wanted something to make fun of with my friends to my surprise I found my self in shock after the viewing. The movie was great but I was more into the performance given by Shia LaBeouf.. I had to go on the Internet to find out if he was really mentally challenged after this movie. He did one hell of a job here THIS KIDS GOT A FUTURE ... unlike other annoying talent such as frank muniz or whatever the hell his name is. Shia LaBeouf should really be praised for this role and I am really hoping to see him in other films outside the Disney lot......
