Discovery of neglected young genius proves true piece of work!

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2004)

The story here is simple: A neglected 20 something ghetto kid anonymously solves the "unsolvable" calculus problem at the university campus where he works as a janitor, then is hounded by intellectual scholars who want to furhter this untapped genius mind. One problem: The kid is a little eccentric, bordering on the severely disturbed, and only one "shrink" is getting thru to him. Add a little love story and a happy ending an you've got "Good Will Hunting". Half-way-through you get a delicious scene, where the hero cuts down a "bully" in the student cafeteria by going brain-explosion-verbally-ballistic on him! Not even Julia Sugarbaker could touch that one! Otherwise I was not nearly as impressed as cinema audiences and the Oscars Academy were. Once is enough for this one!
