Yeah here's the truth the movie is awful

The only good things about this one is the ending and Special Olympics broadcast stock footage but that's it. It's has mean spirited and violent tone, unlikable characters, the story was awful, lazy cinematography, and the writing is just backwards I'm going to stick to The Hunchback of Notre Dame so I can move on with this awful movie.

A Must See For All Children

I was fortunate, or should I say blessed to have been able to watch this movie today. There are no words to describe it. Even "Phenominal" isn't sufficient. This movie brought tears to my eyes. Until today I had never heard of Loretta Claiborne. But as the old saying goes'"Better Late than Never At All. I truly believe that this movie should be shown in the schools, to let our children know and see firsthand just how blessed and fortunate they are. This woman was mentally challenged, but that did not stop her. She has accomplished so much. This woman is totally amazing. I could watch it over and over again and again. I can hardly wait to purchase this documentary of her life.

Great movie. Well worth watching

I loved this inspirational movie. Loretta faced many challenges growing up And throughout her years. She was bullied, ostracized, and taken advantage of by other students. Later on she would find help to cope from her mother, her brother and caring teachers. They really helped her by just loving her and being there for her. They didn't baby her but pushed her to do her best and not to let offensive names bother her. I taught Special Education for many years and know first hand about the challenges that these students face. Wonderful to know that it changed her life! PRAYING that Loretta will continue to bless others with her story.

A Touching Story...

I watched this movie on ABC a couple of months ago. It was a touching story about the true life of Loretta Claiborne(Kimberly Elise), a mentally retarded woman. It tells about her life through anger, happiness, and reaching her dreams. She was introduced to what she loved, Track and Field, from Janet McFarland(Camryn Manheim). She starts to win track meets and everything seems fine. But There are still many problems she faces as she goes on through life... Camryn Manheim Acted Well in this Drama. But Kimberly Elise Gave A SUPERB acting role as Claiborne. A Great Movie. Great For the Family with many great messages kids can learn from. I'm a guy and I rarely cry, but this movie made me cry. Grade : B+ or 8/10

wonderful story

i just wanted to say , i watched the movie as well, it was so heart touching and very close to home for me, i have a grandson Name Kevin , he is 13 yrs old, he has cerebral palsy,,, he is a delight to our family, he has come so far , at one time he couldn't even sit up without falling over, he's been in school since he was 3 yrs old, and he has accomplished so much , but still such a long way to go , when i see stories of such, it gives me so much hope,,,,,, i would love to see my Kevin up and walking & talking , but just to know that he is still here on this earth with us, it's such a blessing,,,,,i'am sure there are many other families that can say the same,,,,,,,,,

Miss Annie Rydell: She was afraid to come home, so I brought her. I know what happened at the high school.
Rita Claiborne: She doesn't go to high school anymore, Miss Rydell. She starts work at the retarded workshop tomorrow. Some social worker's coming to put her there with all those other unwanted people. She could have had something better for herself and she threw it all away!
Miss Annie Rydell: She's really hurting right now, Mrs. Claiborne. Look, I know the timing isn't the best, but I was wondering if you'd let Loretta keep Buster.
Rita Claiborne: That dog? What's that, some sort of consolation prize? I know you're never going to belong Loretta, but you can keep my dog.
Miss Annie Rydell: I was Loretta's teacher, Mrs. Claiborne, but I think of myself as her friend. And she's struggling right now, and she needs something to give her heart. She's always had this special love for Buster. You give her comfort.
Rita Claiborne: That's a pretty speech, Miss Rydell, but no. I do not reward bad behavior in my children.
