• If director Gus Van Sant had always been a hack it wouldn't matter so much, but personally I find this form of licking the audience's cheeks like an obsequious puppy deeply offensive.
• The leaden screenplay can be fingered for many of the film's faults. But what happened to the off-kilter film-maker last seen at work in To Die For?
• An anti-intellectual film about the intellectual life.
• Funny and touching.
• A rare find.
• A rewarding exploration of the knotty and often contentious relationship between teacher and protege. Its chief pleasure is the master class in the art of acting delivered by Sean Connery.
• This is pure formula -- and practically identical to the story arc of Good Will Hunting -- but Van Sant keeps things just off-kilter enough to make it compelling anyway.
• A conventional stew of overblown, bogus emotion and rigged catharsis.

  When the movie conveys the light in a student's eyes, and those of his teacher, at the moment when knowledge has been shared, it's a story that can never be told often enough.
• A transparent attempt by director Gus Van Sant to repeat the Oscar success of his earlier Good Will Hunting.
• A juicy and gratifying teacher movie.

  Sure, maybe Gus has gone Hollywood, but at least he's gone there sideways -- fully aware that a soul is a terrible thing to waste.
• An enjoyable film, made more so by the performances ... and by dozens of thoughtful touches like Bill Frisell's delicate score.
• It might've worked better if the film had tried harder to turn these characters into living, breathing people, instead of the bickering odd couple that's become such a stereotype.
• Warm and likable -- and, during the holidays, warm and likable is often what moviegoers want.
• Van Sant takes the cliches and gives them a half spin that makes them seem fresh and almost accidental. He's like an inspired jazz musician improvising on an old, too-familiar tune and making it his own.
• The story is schematic and the hero/villain matchup a little too obvious, but never underestimate the charisma of Connery.
• Movies about writers are notoriously hard to do, since writing by its nature is not cinematic. Finding Forrester evades that problem by giving us a man who wrote one good novel a long time ago, and now writes no more.
• Finding Forrester manages to take the cerebral act of literary creation and make it exciting, sexy even.
