Have I seen this movie before?

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 2002)

A man overcoming a handicap, and achieving greatness in his life. Wow, how many times is that plot going to get nominated for an Oscar. I'm not saying it wasn't a good movie, but I will say it's not that great of an idea. If you think about it, almost everybody overcomes some great handicap (although some not as severe as others). It's almost as if an actor takes the role of a handicapped person he/she is a "shoe-in" for at least a nomination. Does Forrest Gump and Rainman ring a bell. For the record, I don't want to completely bash the movie at least the acting was good. For those of you who don't need to see a movie that "touches your heart" every year, you can skip this one because it's nothing you haven't seen before.
