Bad screenplay even worst directing...put you to sleep in 10 minutes

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2011)

I thought this would be a touching movie like "A beautiful Mind" instead I wanted to delete it from my DVR after 5 minutes into the movie. But hey, Robert Downey Jr and Jamie Foxx are both on my list of favorite actors so I decided to stick around to see if it would pick up the speed or the story. After 20 minutes I regretted I have wasted 20 minutes of my precious time staring at my TV waiting for it to get better. The boy who plays the young Nathaniel was absolutely awful. His fingers did not even match the rhythm of the music he was playing at audtion. Overall, this is such a poorly written and directed movie. A waste of time. Fortunately I watched it on cable for free. If this was a DVD rental from Blockbuster that would have been a waste of my money and my time.
