1997 M Contains violence and offensive language.

Wildly charismatic. Impossibly brilliant. Totally rebellious. For the first 20 years of his life, Will Hunting has called the shots. Now he's about to meet his match.

Like his friends in down-town, working-class South Boston, Will Hunting spends his days between menial jobs, street brawling and stints at the local bar. Yet, he can summon obscure historical references from his photographic memory and solve mathematical problems that have stumped Nobel Prize winning professors. But the one thing Will Hunting can not do is talk his way out of a pending jail term and only one man is capable of rescuing Will from complete self destruction. Featuring Robin Williams in the role that won him an Academy Award and written by and starring Oscar winners Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, Good Will Hunting is an astonishing tale that fills the senses with a fresh, raw energy and heart-felt emotion.

I enjoyed this movie. It could come across as boring if it didn't have the well known actors, but really proved the point of how people can succeed in life if given a bit of help & support, so makes you feel good.

I didn't watch this right through. This movie wasn't for me. I know it has won some awards but for me it was boring and just about a no-hoper with nothing to lose. This is just a very sad story to me... Read more

Missed the movie when it came out and always wanted to see it. First class acting and such truth in its outcome. Sets a standard to watch and enjoy. No violence, no sex ( to talk about) it was shame... Read more

Oustanding film with top class actors. Robin Williams as usual was excellent. Story a bit drawn out but well worth it.

While some of the themes in this film have been surpassed by other more recent films, such as Garden State, it is still a worthwhile watch.
