Speilberg proves himself, yet again, as the best director of all times. He has successfully left "The Goonies" behind for more intelligent movies worthy of his vast talents and this is a good example. His use of different filming and sound creates a dramatic effect. It is the PRIME example of a movie which makes you feel as if you're there. Of course, Hank's performance is Oscar-worthy, yet again. KBONE rating: 10.

This movie has an excellent script, great acting, superior dialog, and appropriate casting. It's almost hard to believe that Damon and Affleck could have developed such an intelligent script at such young ages. Perhaps they got help? Who knows...and who cares. The final result was a simply great, human, moving story. Robin Williams certainly earned his Oscar. The only faults I found in the movie was William's failure at maintaining the Boston accent consistently (yet his acting made up for it so completely, I STILL think he deserved that Oscar) and the somewhat labored idea of an alcoholic father being the root of a kid's problems. The KBONE rating: 10.

I came in half-way into this movie and due to the no-name cast and documentary-style filming, I thought it WAS a documentary. Films like these NEED a no-name cast to fly. It was entertaining and worth a watch. But, the scene where Tellie takes the young Spanish girl's virgintiy did some like kiddie-porn. On the KBONE scale of 1-10 it gets a 6.5.
