Movie Review of ''Pay It Forward''

Made in 2000, Pay It Forward is a touching movie which was directed by Mimi Leder. The movie was based on the book of the same name which has been written by Catherine Ryan Hyde.

Haley Joel Esment is interpreting the character of Trevor McKinney, a small boy living in Las Vegas who is in grade 7.  He is being raised by his mom, Arlene who is played by Helen Hunt. During the movie, you follow the social-studies class of Trevor, which is taught by Eugene Simonet. Kevin Spacey is interpreting Mr. Simonet which has burns all over his body.

At the beginning of the school year, Mr. Simonet gave an assigment to his class which is to make the world a better one. Trevor took it really seriously and created Pay It Forward. The principle of that movement is pretty simple. If you are being helped, you need to help 3 other persons. It is exponential!

Hyde's baby is a exceptionnal sentimental journey! For 2 hours, you follow the life of those three awesome characters. Don’t choose that movie as a relax evening at home! It is far from a light movie like Ted. When it ends, it makes you think about life for a while. I won’t tell you more about the movie to let you discover it but you can be sure that there are twists in it! What I can tell you is that it is really worth watching it!

In the last years, lots of movies are just comedy and don’t lead you anywhere. Pay It Forward really makes you realize things and make you think about it. It is a movie that you need to see at least once in your life. Altought you are only following the life of a little boy, it isn’t a child movie. It is a movie to make you realize a lots of things from life and how you can help people!

You definitely need to see it! Plus, as it is an old movie, you can rent it for less then 5$! Come on, move and go get that DVD!
