    Milton,s secerate

    This was an amazing family film full of family teams and me musings of a teenager in the throngs of family drama and the pains of growing up all the trials and tribulations that every teenage or about to be teenager's would identify with , I enjoyed this very much. I thought the casting of Donald Sutherland as Milton's Grandfather was brilliant he is one of my favorite actors who can play both a supper nice guy or a evil maniacal pig with equal aplomb. defiantly take your teen to see this or rent it, thank you

    I gave it 5 stars first, but came back to give it a ten.

    The 5 stars were given because I expected more mystery and obvious miracles.

    I came back because it's an excellent movie that will speak to a lot of "beliefs", including atheism.

    This movie has a lot of valuable lessons in it, very suitable for schools to show this in class. This movie reminded me of the wave, very educational for kids and adolescents.

    Getting there

    A good topic but lacking in dramatization. Donald Sutherland is good as the sympathetic grandfather.

    There Is No Spoiler

    This is not your "normal" Hollywood movie or even drama. Although the obvious theme is bullying - which is very important - the real star of this film is Wisdom.

    If it is possible to return to time honored traditions of family, love, loyalty and trust this movie allows us to experience these values once again.

    Based on the work of Eckhart Tolle but using philosophy judiciously as the icing on the cake, this film allows for the wisdom of an elder to seep into a modern family and realign their priorities.

    Terrific family movie and one that the family can discuss for hours around the dinner table - as opposed to viewing their "apps".

    Excellent Movie

    I must say I love this movie, it is valid and it contains current situations that adolescents and adults go through in schools, work,online and in the house, I definitely recommend this film Milton's Secret, as a family time-out and discussion. It is time to rebuild communication line's in our digital age.

    • Quotes

      Milton Adams: If you fill your glass with hate and fear, pour in your worries about the past and future. you're probably going to be miserable. If you fill your beaker with love and caring, miracles can happen, wars can end, people can be different. That's the secret. We all can change. You just have to take meanness and turn it into gold. With that, the war is over.
