Robin Williams' Best

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2000)

"Good Will Hunting" was the feel good movie of 1997, but it was Robin Williams (in an Oscar-winning role) showing his true ability as an actor that made the film work. The film deals with a troubled young janitor at MIT named Will Hunting (Matt Damon in an Oscar-nominated performance) who is a mathematical genius in spite of his minimal education. "Good Will Hunting" is a combination of "Rocky" and "Ordinary People" in the fact that you pull for the underdog (Matt Damon) and you see how psychologically scarred he is through the man who is acting as his psychiatrist (Robin Williams). Is "Good Will Hunting" a great film? No, but it's one of those films that you can't help but like due to the elements that are in it. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
