    Justin Timberlake is a SUPERSTAR!

    JT is an incredible musician, humanitarian, and an incredible actor! He has been overlooked by the Academy for far too long. This quiet, understated performance may by his very finest role yet. The whole cast was so great that it was easy to forget that you were watching a movie. Everyone seemed like people I've known. The scrip was pitch perfect! Check this one out!

    Mr. Timberlake..

    Coming from a person who grew up absolutely despising "boy bands" and the like, Mr. Timberlake was often a butt of jokes in my circle. To be honest, I looked at him as a talentless fabrication in the 90's. I would have never imagined an entertainer that I looked at as so lacking prove me so wrong. I enjoyed this movie very much. The story was touching and the acting was very good but what brought it was Mr. Timberlake. I would have never have thought he could pull off a roll such as this. I give my rating because of his performance. Quite impressive to say the least. I almost equate this to Shia in "The Peanut Butter Falcon". Great job by all.

    Heart warming. Real.

    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.

    Predictable, but engaging

    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.

    It's Very Good But Let's Be Honest

    For the people saying this movie is no good - you're way off. For the people saying it's one of the greatest movies of all time - you're way off. Why can't we just say that a movie is really good, not great? It's a really nice story with interesting characters. I'd recommend it to anyone that has an open mind. Bonus points to JT for playing a character so remarkably different than himself. It resonates for people especially from smaller towns or who have dealt with bullying growing up. I personally loved it, but I'd give it a solid 6 out of 10 in the grand spectrum of movies (and that's just fine).
