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 mean he's not even Twenty yet, and he is already showing he's good at drama as well as comedy. He is like the next Robin Williams. You may know him best has the goofy oddball brother in Even Stevens. But in this film he plays Eddie, a teenager strugling with a mental disabilty, who tries to make the best out of things. He gave a real good performance. Clara Bryant also gave a good performance has Tru, Eddie's sweet but uptight sister. Mare Winningham is good has there patient mom. A sweet film for the whole family.

LaBeouf has gone dramatic! this movie is a change from his comedic role in the sitcom even stevens. i must give shia two thumbs up. he is a great actor. movies like this generally make me cry. i shed a little tear or two but not a lot. if you want some good drama and a good cry on the side, check this out. it'll teach you the importance of love and family. 8 stars out of 10. p.s. keep your tissues handy!

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...

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......
