Oh, boy, where to start. A janitor at MIT, Will Hunting (Matt Damon) has a gift for maths that can take him light-years beyond his blue-collar roots,
but to achieve his dream he must turn his back on the neighborhood and his best friend (Ben Affleck). To complicate
matters, two strangers enter the equation: a washed-up shrink (Robin Williams) who starts to coach Will through his
transformation, and a med student (Minnie Driver) who shows him that there can be a pretty face along with his life of the
mind.

What's Good:
There are a lot of good things going on with this movie. The story is good, and keeps you interested, the characters are likeable, it's easy to follow... Just an all around good movie.
What's Bad:
Parents might discourage their kids from seeing this movie due to it's rating, and excessive use of the F-word.
Overall:
Excellent movie. I came away with a smile on my face.
Very Original Screenplay. I can't compare it to any movie I've seen.
The plot kept me interested, and into the movie.
Excellent job by the cast. The actors are believable as their roles.
Although the movie doesn't have the same meaning to the viewer the second time around, it's still fun to watch. And that's what makes it a movie really worth buying.
