Good Will Hunting A true motion picture phenomenon, this triumphant story was nominated for 9 Academy Awards(R) — winning Oscars for Robin Williams and hot newcomers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The most brilliant mind at America’s top university isn’t a student … he’s the kid who cleans the floors! Will Hunting (Damon) is a headstrong, working-class genius who’s failing the lessons of life. After one too many run-ins with the law, Will’s last chance is a psychology professor (Williams), who might be the only man who can reach him! With acclaimed performances from Academy Award(R)-nominee Minnie Driver (GROSSE POINTE BLANK) and Ben Affleck (ARMAGEDDON) — you’ll find GOOD WILL HUNTING a powerful and unforgettable movie experience!
Customer Review: Big fan of Matt Damon and Robin Williams!
When I first heard the name of this movie many years ago, I was wondering who Will was hunting? Talk about your double-entendres for a title? Now I know better; for the title tells us Will Hunting, played by Matt Damon, is a good man; but a broken one like we all are who live in this imperfect world.

Anyway, I wasn’t sure whether to see this film when it came out, but having come from a broken home myself, I loved the film once I saw it. Both Damon and Williams carry the plot line well while using their own natural charisma to draw you into their characters. The camera work in this is also well done. Jean Escoffier did a marvelous job with all the shots.

It’s a simple plot of a young man, orphaned; brilliant, who is disconnected in some ways from the world, well in need of love and understanding and who keeps himself protected via his brilliant mind. He’s a master wiz with math and is in need of a brilliant intercessor, played by Robin Williams, to help him find his place in the world: Enter in Robin Williams as the psychiatrist. It’s a great film dedicated to character development which I’ve always been big on, even when I was in my teens and twenties; which I must say is a nice walk away at times from the roller coaster ride thrillers Hollywood likes to put out these days. So if you love good character development and a good delivery of the human condition; I’d watch this film.

Both Matt Damon and Robin Williams do a great job with the acting in this. In the scene when Matt breaks down and starts to cry, once Williams brings his character to full term and the gestalt takes place between them in terms of Will Huntings greatest fear, tears started to come down my eyes as well when I think back of the broken home I came out of. Great film: Not boring at all. Well worth the price of admission!

Case and DVD quality were just fine: No complaints. Delivery was on time: Again no complaints.
