What a waste of my time!!!

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

hyped garbage

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

"Flowers for Algernon" is one of my all time favorite short stories. The later novel is good and this movie is excellent. Beautiful music. Superb acting. Moving story.I give this movie an A+

I just recently finished reading the book Flowers for Algernon and then recently watched the movie to see the comparisons and contrasts. This movie really does follow the book in a pretty solid way, but as many say the book is always better. So anyway Charlie Gordon is mentally challenged, but wants to be smart just like everyone else. So he continuously goes to night school and falls for the teacher Ms. Kinian. Just at the moment two scientists are having a procedure on a human being to increase their intelligence and Charlie is chosen. It is good to see the man become just like everyone else, but in the end it all turns from happy to sad for him once again. Decent movie for those who read the book.

Heart or Intelligence? It is a story about a man who was happy when he knew nothing but became unhappy when he started to know too many things. Which are you going to choose to be a happy fool or unhappy genius? If you are not a fool, then think about that 'Am I too proud to be a warm-hearted person?'

A very touching movie. Sad and funny. Very realistic cast. Very uplifting and powerful. I read the book a couple of weeks ago. I love the book and the movie as well. I cannot wait until the movie comes out on video/DVD. This was an enjoyable movie.
