Surprisingly incoherent and boring

It is a performances centric movie

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I absolutely loved this movie! By seeing this movie I thought Brooke was a very talented young lady, I mean, to go to school after what she'd been through was a tough thing to do. So much effort and special attention at the beginning. It was a tad bit depressing when she found out Jan was getting engaged, that was just wrong in my opinion. In the end she accomplished something and that was very terrific! This movie has changed my opinion so much about what could and couldn't happen in my life. I must say that Brooke was a very determined child, she didn't seem to think she was any different from other kids that weren't in her position. That's a very good thing, though. All I can say is that this has been one of the best movies I have seen in a while, I give it a 10!

My daughter, Jenson, played young Kysten in "The Brooke Ellison Story". She has the greatest admiration for Christoper Reeve, his family and the Ellison family as I do. They are wonderful people full of love. Jenson certainly had the best experience of her life. My family was so grateful for the opportunity Christopher Reeve and the producers gave Jenson. She made some good friends and every single person on the set was so kind and helpful. I wish everyone we came in contact with a bright and prosperous future. I loved the movie and still can not watch it without crying. I hope Christopher Reeve is nominated for everything he can be for this movie and wins the award. I also thought Mary Elizabeth who played Jean Ellison deserves nominations for her performance.

This has spoilers. I first heard about it on the radio. I decided to watch it. I learned that it can be had sometimes. Her mother has to do everything for her. But she was really smart also. She probably missed so much school and she still graduated from Harvard. She was paralyzed neck down and she had so much support from her family. When I was born, I had been born with one leg shorter than the other. I can still walk, and do things like anyone else, except I walk with a limp. I get teased a lot from it. I did not see anybody teasing her about it. She was very open to telling people her reason for being in a wheel chair. I thought that it was very nice of her to be in the open and not be afraid. I still sometimes do not have the nerve to say anything. She was a very smart girl that had so much dedication and she did not let this get to her. She was not prepared for this to happen, and it changed her life forever. She led an amazing life after the accident and look where it has taken her. Awesome movie.

I just got finished watching the Brooke Ellison Story and I have been so touched at the courage that she has. At every obstacle that she faced, she conquered. I just wish that everyone would have the ambition and courage to do so much more. It also showed how much parents will give up to make sure that their children are happy. Her whole family is full of support for Brooke. I very good movie, directed by a terrific man, who will be greatly missed by many. Lacey played an excellent part, really made you feel what Brooke felt. I hope that everyone will watch this movie and learn something.
