DVD. Feature film. Stars Robin Williams & Matt Damon. 126 m in. Rated R.
A South Boston whiz kid elects to clean the halls of learning rather than enter them, slumming his way through life as a janitor at MIT. But his natural ability to unravel complex equations attracts the attention of a professor who won't let him quit, a beautiful Harvard student who wants to save him, a sympathetic buddy who wants him to escape South Boston, and a counselor who encourages him. A soundly acclaimed, homegrown effort from lifelong Boston buddies Damon and Affleck, who pushed their script through development by disguising it as a suspense thriller.

Love this movie, it has it all! A young man who is extraordinary but thinks of himself as insignificant has the opportunity to demonstrate his heart; laugh and pull himself out of a funk that would keep anyone down without help.
You're glad he tantelizes that rich kid/know-it-all in front of everyone at the bar; stuns the big boys at the employer of month as well as has the courage to take a leap of faith...
You laugh; you cry; you laugh and you think .... everything that seems so important boils down to what our parents and grandparents tell us: it's not what you have, it's are you happy?
Finding that someone is the pot of gold!
In this movie, the poor boy is the rich man...he just doesn't know it until he opens his heart.
This movie demonstrates it isn't easy; and you can just sit and it will stay that way...or you can do something about it.

fantastic movie characters are very believable. if you've read John Eldredge's "Wild At Heart" (ISBN 0785268839) you will definitely see how Will (Matt Damon) hides behind his true strength, and also the process of the healing of his wound. a very good movie about the healing of the masculine soul. would recommend this movie, definitely.
