I hardly managed to watch this movie to it's end. I found nothing about it particularly interesting or inspiring. Main character, young Jamal Wallace isn't interesting in any way - he is presented to us as being just perfect, so perfect that it becomes unrealistic. He plays basketball perfectly, he is a role model son, incredible natural talent for writing, and, at age 16, he can quote by heart any novel ever written in English language. His mentor, William Forester (Sean Connery) has spent decades in hiding (for no realistic reason whatsoever, nor for a reason that one could ever sympathize with, or understand as serious). It is painfully obvious that the only reason why producers created his character as such was to have him "liberated" and inspired by our imperfectionless hero. As was clear from the start, Forrester appeared at the end of the movie in a pale imitation of Al Pacino's entrance in defense of his protégé in "Scent of a Woman". Don't waste your time on this one.
