Profile of Good Will Hunting

Good Will Hunting can be described as uplifting, emotional, and sentimental. The plot revolves around a dedicated educator, a prodigy, and doctors and patients. The main genres are drama and independent. In approach, Good Will Hunting is serious and realistic. It is set, at least in part, at a university. It is located in Boston. Good Will Hunting takes place in the 1990s. The movie has received attention for being a modern classic, an Oscar winner, and a blockbuster. It is well suited for a date night.

Summary of Good Will Hunting

A South Boston whiz kid elects to clean the halls of learning rather than enter them, slumming his way through life as a janitor at MIT. But his natural ability to unravel complex equations attracts the attention of a professor who won't let him quit, a beautiful Harvard student who wants to save him, a sympathetic buddy who wants him to escape South Boston, and a counselor who encourages him. A soundly acclaimed, homegrown effort from lifelong Boston buddies Damon and Affleck, who pushed their script through development by disguising it as a suspense thriller.

USA Today

Damon convincingly matches Williams recrimination for recrimination in this portrayal of mutual tough love, even with the latter giving what may be the best performance of his career. Full Review

Meh. Honestly, I never understood what all the fuss was about with this one. To me, it just doesn¿t have enough heart or reality at its core. And Minnie Drivers performance was like nails on chalkboard at certain points in the film. Just so-so,... Read and rate it
