How sad is this?

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Blistering performances.

I liked the concept of the Movie, even if I m so far from being "old" whatever that means these days. The message of the Movie is simple; respect the Elder ones, don't forget what they have done for you and don't push them in Retirement Homes and if then look after them. I don't get why Folks who watched the Movie didn't catch the Message.Another message is that; don't under estimate People who are mentally handicapped, they are special in their own way what Gideon in the Movie shows. They are simple minded but special. Don't look away, listen to them and you ll even learn from them. This has nothing to do with "Clichees" I was not at all surprised by Christpoher Lambert acting in and as Gideon.Just because there is no action, no car chases, no special effects, doesn't mean its not worth watching. Wonderful performances and an interesting story. Liloz advice; Its important to be reminded that little things in life count, what this Movie actually shows.

This film is so good ......... NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!In actual fact it is quite possible the worst film i've ever seen it contains ludicrously homoerotic scenes of toe curlingly sentimental male bonding. Which quite frankly makes me sick to my stomach. my advice would be to never see this film,if you do make sure you bring a vomit bag because it is a steaming pile of concentrated excrement

Don't be fooled by whatever sentimental fools commented on this movie previously, Gideon is completely terrible. I'm a big Christopher Lambert fan, and I like Charlton Heston, but this movie still really sucks. Hard.

I was very impressed with this beautiful movie: the best actors, the best script, the best of everything. This movie is simply delightful. I cannot understand why Gideon didn't get released in the theaters, and why is not on sale. Not even amazon.com has this movie. It's mistery to me why a mediocre movie is distributed everywhere while this jewel stays in the dark. In my honest opinion, there should be more movies like Gideon. It's a heart-warming film that touches your heart. It deserves an Oscar and, most of all, it deserves a place in every home because it's a movie for the whole family. It's a true classic. Don't miss it!
