| User ReviewElizabeth DExcellent movie! Cinematography was spot on & the characters were easily likable. Good story line, great acting, totally enjoyable film. |
| User ReviewCody LAwesome movie, good story and great cast. |
| User ReviewElizabeth HBest movie josh was so Dam hot in this movie |
| User ReviewMichael RA very interesting role was played by Josh Hutcherson in which depicted a young boy with a large talent. This talent was first discovered by scam artists only interested in making money. Every scene was carefully executed. All in all it was a great movie and should be enjoyed by all. |
| User ReviewLynette BIt was very sad at first but it turned out to be a happy ending. |
| User ReviewMatthew LWithout exaggerating, this could quite possibly be the best movie I have ever seen. Joshua, a 16 year old boy abandoned by his mother and left homeless, must struggle to survive. His talent for art is his saving grace. Without going overboard into "wholesome" territory, The Forger tackles some heavy themes such as integrity and how to treat women. This is one of those films that can be enjoyed by adults, yet could also be shown to a youth group. It's that good. And yes, Josh Hutcherson is amazing. He shows off his acting chops in his portrayal of a confused teenage boy. Oh, and one funny thing...I watched the whole movie without realizing Lauren Bacall was in it (head smack)! I should have known by her voice. Definitely put The Forger as #1 in your Netflix queue. |
| User ReviewMadison HI liked this movie very much. I thought Josh Hutcherson was great and really enjoyed his performance. |
| User ReviewRomel AGreat acting from this KY boy! (Carmel by the Sea is one of the places I want to live...) |
| User ReviewLane SThought it was ok. Could have been better. |
| User ReviewAngela NGripping and intricate in its portrayal of a troubled teen and his limitless talent. Alfred Molina was especially good in the role of smarmy mentor who seems to be doing what's in the kids best interest, but is actually taking full advantage of the situation. I always enjoy a bit of Molina in movies. |
