Review: Excellent Family Movie! - I watched this well-portrayed movie with my 11-year-old grandson. It was spell-binding from start to finish for both my A/B-student (mentioned only to indicate the level of intelligence as it may relate to understanding the movie) grandson. We both thoroughly enjoyed it: My grandson was actually cheering young Ben's academic successes! The fact that this movie is BASED ON A TRUE STORY made it even better: I was able to reinforce principles that my grandson's parents and I have planted into him. Cuba Gooding, Jr. does a MASTERFUL JOB of portraying Dr. Ben Carson, the main character. And the O.R. scenes are absolutely miraculous. Young Ben (whose grades are horrible!) is an EXCELLENT MOTIVATOR for even the MOST ACADEMICALLY CHALLENGED STUDENT, and his mother, Kimberly Elise, is a GREAT EXAMPLE OF A WISE PARENT. She constantly SPEAKS GOOD THINGS over her son, regardless of what she sees in the natural. She REFUSES TO ACCEPT FAILURE for her child. This DUO ROBS EVERY CHILD AND EVERY PARENT OF EVERY EXCUSE FOR THE LACK OF SUCCESS. This is a MUST-SEE MOVIE...especially if your child/grandchild/etc. is floundering academically, lives in a certainly-not-your-first-choice neighborhood, and/or is being raised in a single-parent (or two-parent) home where the lack of money is a factor. Dr. Ben Carson's life is PROOF that GREAT SUCCESS CAN BE ACHIEVED...IF YOU REALLY WANT IT. Review: Great Movie - Gifted Hands Starring Cuba Gooding Jr. - This review is for the movie, GIFTED HANDS, starring Cuba Gooding Jr. I wanted to make that clear because for some reason desertcart has mistakenly grouped all of the reviews for GIFTED HANDS (the movie) with all the reviews for GIFTED HANDS (the docummentary). I think I even saw some reviews here for the book. Just for the record, both the Feature Length Film AND the Documentary of the same name are excellent and both deserve 5 stars. The documentary stars the real Dr. Ben Carson as himself, while the Movie stars Cuba Gooding Jr. as Dr. Ben Carson. Apparently, a number of people have ordered the documentary thinking it was the movie, and others have ordered the movie expecting the documentary. I am suspect that the trouble with these two products is even messing with the ordering process causing people to receive an item they didn't order. This confusion has resulted in a lot of people receiving the wrong product and are therefore dissatisfied - leaving unwarranted bad reviews. I really hope desertcart gets this mistake straightened out because there are a lot of people upset about this and they don't know what is happening. That being said, the FEATURE LENGTH FILM is an inspiring story that is well acted, moving and as far as I can tell, reasonably faithful to the truth. This is saying a lot because movie makers and screenplay writers are notorious for changing the facts to make a story more "interesting" . With a few minor exceptions, the spirit of Ben Carson's personal account of his life is pretty much what really happened. I am glad to find the real story more or less intact here. I would highly recommend this movie, AND THE DOCUMENTARY to anyone who likes a good TRUE story. I completely enjoyed watching this. Now, I need to read the book! ~Linda~ ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002D755AI | | Actors | Aunjanue Ellis, Cuba Gooding Jr., Gus Hoffman, Jaishon Fisher, Kimberly Elise | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,110 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #761 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,349) | | Director | Thomas Carter | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5820759 | | Language | Unqualified | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | DVD | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | David A.
