Positive, Touching, Feel-Good Movie, 8 March 2000
10/10
Author: bill_b4 from Red Springs, North Carolina, USA

This was one of the better movies I've seen this year. "Noah" is especially needed at a time when we are being bombarded with violent, negative and depressing cinema from movies like "Fight Club", "American Beauty", and "A Simple Plan". What a positive, up-beat, feel-good movie. It was refreshing to see great movies are still being made, even though they unfortunately are not box-office hits and you usually have to turn over a few stones to find them. That's why I particularly like the IMDB forum. It makes the mining for great movies like "The Simple Life Of Noah Dearborn" that much easier.
