Tru Confessions

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...

Wow, oh my gosh, I cried! LaBeouf has gone dramatic and he does it well. He has proven in this that he can act anything. Hes dramatic in this, hilarious in Even Stevens and mysterious in Holes. But besides him, this movie shows that even people with special needs have feelings and that its not impossible to love them. I wish this movie were available to buy, but you can only rely on when Disney plays it. I'd reccomend this to people who have or have relatives with special needs, or just anyone at all. It also shows the injustice and sadness of how others make fun of special kids. Theres even a scene where some popular boys spit into the boy's hat and then give it to him. It makes me want to get up and stand up for the poor kid. Maybe this will make you think more of what they have to go through, and not just them, but their families. Tru seemed very loving toward her brother and even made a movie about him. My best friend has a brother with autism and hes one of the nicest people I know. So if you feel sorry for them, don't. The only reason you should feel sorry for them is if you can do something about it. But you can't here, so just smile and treat them with kindness. Thats what this movie taught me.

Disney movies are always cute, but not good. I enjoy Disney, all the shows, especially Even Stevens. The Reason, Mr. Shia LaBeouf. On Even Stevens your trying desperately not to laugh, but when he hits the screen, you do. However, on Tru Confessions you don't laugh very much, there's more sadness coming from Mr. Shia LaBeouf. Disney really worked hard on this movie, and it shows! The movie is so believable, you'll wonder, "how does this kid stay in character?" So, do I recommend this movie? YES! It easily receives 8/10 stars.

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.)
