Front Of The Class (2008) :
Brief Review -
Backed by the great story of Brad Cohen this one make a front of the Classic Heart-touching drama. I have never seen any Hallmark Hall Of Fame TV films yet but I've heard quite mixed reactions about it. Some people say, HHF shows sappy films while some says that they always bring good stories. I don't wanna choose any side because i don't think i will be watching any movie from this club any time soon unless i hear or read something outstanding so, I would rather talk about this flick individually than comparing with other films of the club. I don't know what good or bad films HHF has showed but this one is a Classic! That's a big statement because i use that word only for some real classy stuff. Front Of The Class is a docudrama about the persistency of Brad Cohen Brad who, despite being challenged by Tourette's Syndrome at a very young age, defies all odds to become a gifted teacher. It shows us that how so called normal people of the society behave abnormally when they meet weirdo, doesn't matter if it has an incurable medical condition. With this film, we learn a lot about life and people's perspective of looking at things, especially the ones with special conditions. But mainly, it is a high-spirited and inspirational drama which will fill your life with hopes and empty all the negative thoughts one has during tough situation. As it says, "It's ok to be weird", then why is it not ok to accept the weird? James Wolk as Adult and Dominic Scott Kay as child Brad Cohen give performances to remember. They handle all the challenging parts with accuracy and make it look natural. Supporting cast fine, screenplay is very good, dialogues are nice and direction is Superb. Overall, it's a Classic emotional and motivational drama which should not be missed. Never let anything stop you from achieving your dreams.
RATING - 8/10*
