4 out of 5 stars Pay It Forward Delivers    December 28, 2008
Steven Lenkofsky (Long Island, NY)
This is a somewhat offbeat film that is both dark and uplifting. The message is universal and is suitable for most families with childre over 13. The great acting, coupled with a unique storyline make this a good film to watch and to own.

Shipped on time, TvBoxset is so good at keeping you informed and on top of order tracking, etc. and I love the movie, it's really great for anyone of any age - a rarity these days.


5 out of 5 stars A teaching moment for youth......    December 13, 2008
Rebecca A. Althoff
Although the theme is rather utopian in theory, if everyone did care enough to try it, it could make a difference, maybe not for the world but why not one small piece at a time. Using this movie for a group of young teens where we are working to decrease bullying in the school, it had impact for the better. Students were touched by the reality of the bullying situations and less than perfect home life scenerios. They related to its family dramas, family traumas and the less than perfect characters. To them, the simpicity of starting with three good acts paid forward was something that was not too unrealistic to strive for. This movie can be used as a teaching tool to improve character in adults as well as children. There is a soft nudity scene of love making that was a bit questionable for this age but its presentation was done tastefully and under the correct circumstance of offering unconditional love behind it. A sleeper movie that gives offers motivation time and time again, to be a better person.

I don't know how I missed this one for so many years. Great movie. I love Kevin Spacey so I expected to like this movie. This is just a fantastic, inspiring story. The whole "pay it forward" idea is something that everyone should think about in their lives. If every time someone does something for you, you can turn around and do something for someone else, wow, what a different world we'd all live in.

This is an amazing movie. The theme is that we are all connected in ways that we often don't even imagine. Recommend it highly.
