"If you disrespect my wife again, I will END YOU! Got that, sport?!"

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2006)

The quote is from one of several memorable scenes from the movie, when Will presses Sean's buttons in their first meeting, only to be VERY surprised by his reaction (and also probably gaining respect for the man, which evolves into a genuine friendship). I just saw it again for the umpteenth time.
Other favorite scenes include his emotional confrontation with Skylar, in which he finally drops all pretenses and shows her the real him, and the final emotional scene with Sean, when Will finally bursts open like a dam.
Oh, lest I forget, Lambeau's surprise in the beginning, when he finds out who's been solving his mathematical puzzles, is a gem.
Everyone was outstanding. For Robin Williams, this performance ranks right up there with "Awakenings", "Good Morning Vietnam", and "Dead Poet's Society"; the breadth and depth of the characters he's portrayed in all of these movies is amazing. He rightly deserved the Oscar. The man's a d*** genius.
Hard to believe this is the same guy who played Mork.
It's just too bad he hasn't had very many of these kinds of roles, and too many of the soppy, sentimental melodramas like "Bicentennial Man".
Mini Driver, though I'm not a fan of hers, was also very good, and added the right balance to Will.
Everyone, and everything about this movie was excellent; it hit all the right notes. My hats off to Damon and Affleck for their screenplay! Reading some of the negative comments about this film, I have to say I'm stunned. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but, if you didn't like this movie, I can't imagine there are very many you will like, as it doesn't get too much better than this.
What a shift for Matt Damon, from playing an anti Semite, upperclass, preppie jerk in another excellent film, "School Ties", to playing a blue collar, streetwise roughneck here.
I can't say enough good things about this movie!
