    I usually hate this disney crap but!!!

    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......

    Disney, did you actually try on this one? GREAT JOB!

    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.

    great movie that shows the tender love between brother and sister

    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!

    Finally a MEANINGFUL Disney movie!

    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.

    Perfect and cute...

    When a local TV station puts on a filming contest, teenager Tru Walker (Clara Bryant) is in on it in a heartbeat. Her life seems too full of drama to document - including a surgeon father who is never there and a mother, Ginny (Mare Winningham), who seems not to be there even when she is. In the end, Tru opts to make a movie about his mentally handicapped twin brother, Eddie (Shia LaBeouf). But as airtime approaches, Tru fears how others will react to her very personal story.

    The film is based on the first novel by children's author Janet Tashjian which was written in the format of a diary entered into a computer and uses lists and illustrations, the film is super cute, has a beautiful soundtrack, which packs our tears with this cute and dramatic script, the scenes between the brothers and the family, the difficulties they face and the prejudiced look of society, all so painfully real, a realistic fiction, a lesson in love and inclusion...

    • Quotes

      Eddie: [crying] It's not fair.

      Tru: What's not fair?

      Eddie: I wanna be done being different. I want to be the same as everybody else.

      Tru: Eddie, Everybody's different, Not just you.

      Eddie: No, Tru. I'm real different!

      Tru: You know, you're right, but if you were just the same as everybody else, you wouldn't get all that special help in school...

      [starts to cry]

      Tru: and you wouldn't be allowed to rollerblade in the house, and... and you wouldn't be the... amazing... brother... that I love.

      Eddie: What's wrong,Tru? I make you sad now? What's the matter?

      Tru: Nothing.

      Eddie: [Eddie wipes Trus tears with his coat ad gives her a hug] I love you Tru.

      Tru: [sobbing] I love you too, Eddie.
