An Exercise In Nonsense

Am I Missing Something?

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I loved this movie. I do not know if its because I am a teacher and I love ALL teacher movies or is it because I had people tell me that I could not succeed in school and go to college because I had a learning disability. Well to those people that said I can't: Read this : I am a certified Early Childhood teacher with a Master's degree in Early Childhood. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.I would like to own the DVD of this movie or read the book. Since it was based on a true story--I think that the book would be great as well.

This film brought tears of Joy to my eyes as I watched it. Anyone who doesn't like this movie needs to have their emotions checked out!There are so many great aspects of this film..The kid actors were fabulous and of course John Corbett does a great job as always.. The guy who played the owner of Big Dan's was really good and the voice of the Space Camp judge I loved. The judge really made me feel like he was also pulling for these kids.This is one of the best TV movies I have seen in a long long time.. Way to go ABC and Hallmark!I would highly recommend this movie! The best part is you can watch it with you kids, not many movies I can say that about.

I stumbled upon this program as I was doing homework for my instructional Strategy for Students at Risk class. I have never reviewed anything for IMDb, but wanted to promote "Moon." I found it particularly true and exciting to see the teacher's revelation (via his wife) to take such a complex curriculum (such as space camp's), and make it work for his class for students with LD (Learning Disabilities). They had one year to prepare for the program, and the co-teachers put together "something" for this purpose. It was totally successful. You can see some differentiated instruction techniques in process. Also, the fact that it is not uncommon for students with LD to have exceptional or significant gifts was reflected. It showed many aspects of the struggles and triumphs of students with LD. I liked how the teachers pushed their students beyond themselves. This movie shows all of us how acceptance, encouragement (and cheer leading), perseverance, and teamwork is accomplished. I'd like to say more, but I don't want to ruin it for you.A Smile as Big as the Moon told us a story. Hallmark did it well, made it believable, and imparted a little vision for all of us. Did you catch it?

I saw an advert for this movie in a few magazines and I was psyched to see this movie.It did not air on Hallmark channel as advertised, and aired on the ABC Network.The movie is 2 hours long (separated by commercials) - broken up into 3 parts.Part one: Introductions to the cast members, their respective illnesses, ADD ADHD, etc... The actors were horrible and at times insensitive.Part two: Raising money for Space Camp which the wanted to go.. After a few weeks of striking out trying to raise $50,000, this burger guy just hands a check for 50K.. PREDICTABLE Part three: Space Camp, loosely interpreted, the kids experience the full-range of what space camp has to offer and of course during their mission something goes wrong.. Someone panics,, its OK... they land, win an award and everyone is wonderful.WASTE OF TIME! TOTAL GARBAGE. You want to watch a movie about space camp... GO WATCH THE REAL "SPACE CAMP"
