It's not your fault, It's not your fault, It's not your fault

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2002)

(Possible spoilers here, though there really isn't much to spoil). What can you say about a film about a janitor with some serious emotional hangups who just happens to be the smartest guy on the planet. All I can say is that it's lucky for him he has a psychiatrist who apparently only has one patient("Good" Will Hunting, get it?). "Good" Will Huting is also doubly luck that his psychiatrist with one patient is able to solve all of his problems by saying "It's not your fault"(say it repeatedly as one time only won't do the trick). This film was made for one reason only. As a launching pad for the wondertwins Matt and Ben, or Damon and Affleck if you prefer. Let us not forget that Matt and Ben not only starred in this piece but they wrote it as well. They also took home the oscar for their writing efforts. They proved to be so adept at their writing skills that they have written ten films since then(sarcasm anyone?) Robin Williams' beard gives a wonderful performance and Robin Williams' does okay himself as the doctor with one patient who helps Will overcome his problems. Just don't forget that Robert Forster and Burt Reynolds were passed up for their wonderful work in "Jackie Brown" and "Boogie Nights" so that Robin Williams' could get his "long overdue" oscar. All is not lost because the success of this film gave director Gus Van Sant the clout to desecrate Hitchcock's "Psycho".
