Palmer

Gifted meets Sherrybaby. More movies should explore the good and the bad surrounding child protection systems. Of course, JT does well in a role that is perfect for him, but Ryder Allen is fantastic as Sam. His character reminded me of a child featured in the beautiful documentary I Am Eleven.

I thought this movie was going to be another 2020, PC, manipulative tale of an "average joe hero". 'Palmer' exceeded my expectations and had an intelligent, powerful script with great actors fulfilling their roles and engaging the audience in every scene. Justin Timberlake has already proved himself to be a great actor and he clearly reached a little further down in this performance to bring a tonne of depth to his character. This movie highlights the multitude of life's unknown obstacles and the fact that no matter how hard things maybe, everyday brings a new sun.

I don't know why in the hell people are complaining it's cliche, it's messy blah blah blah. You know form the previews what you're getting. An x-con with a heart of gold. A boy in the wrong body, gay, confused, trans and to top it off he's saddled with a druggie mom. You know what's going to happen. Doesn't make it any the less heartwarming and sweet. I think JT (Palmer) did a great job, I've always thought he was a decent actor. Sam was really good, as far a child actor go, I think he's got it! It's a feel good movie, so if you don't like that kind of movie, then don't watch it. Pretty simple if you ask me. If you like a sweet film then watch it.

I've personally missed seeing Justin play. I hope to see more. This is a great movie. Nothing fancy, but very well done and played. By all of the actors. This is worth the watch if you consider this.

This is an engaging film about a felon and a boy who is different. The characters are developed very well, and the film makes you care about them a lot.
