A film full of drama and emotions suitable for the whole Family

This movie is on the top of my list for movies everyone on the planet must see to teach or remind people how to be in the world and make it a better place! The acting is spot on for each character. No matter where you are in your life everyone can be touched by this movie. Best buy has the best prices so get it. Its worth it because you can see it over and over, share it and even give one away since it is packaged with dvd and bluray together.

There is nothing more cruel than being bullying, and the story to tell in this movie is handcrafted in a way to touch your heart, is sad, powerful, lovely, romantic and cruel, but the reality is showing in this movie, how we live, and for those kids who doesn't understand that bullying is wrong I hope they watch this movie and learn what you can do more good things with others than bullying. We all live our busy lives thinking everything is ok, and sometimes, we forget a little bit our kids, I'm not here to tell you how to live your life, but if we are more aware than what we think we are we can control the behavior of our children that all, what a movie, very touching. Even though this is not a true story but inspired in real events, very well done.

As a parent, I really appreciate the messages this story provides for our children. There are so many dynamics that need to be discussed with kids and this movie provides a way to review them. The messages are so needed in our society, especially that each person has infinitely great worth and each person has their own challenges.

My students appreciate all walks of life especially our disabled community since we have many in class with disabilities that never stop them from making the best of each day- Wonder did that for them and we agreed after the book reading ; I would make sure we could watch dvd together- it was a fun day!

Great family movie to watch together, especially children and teens as they attend school. It's a great movie to show kids how to accept others. It's a great learning movie and one that can be discussed in many different ways after watching it.

It’s a great movie. Points out the cruelty of making fun of people and how it affects others while illustrating that one must truly spend significant time with someone to get past superficiality and truly understand.

As a teacher, I've seen countless students fall in love with this book. The movie managed to bring the spirit and meaningful lessons of the book to the screen in a film suitable for the whole family.

This movie really has a lot of potential to change culture in a positive way. I’d call it a “didactic” movie, intended to teach a moral lesson. Augie Pullman is a boy with a severe facial deformity, and after several years of being homeschooled, he’s ready to enter school with classmates who naturally keep a distance from him. It surprised me that the movie didn’t stay just with his viewpoint, but sometimes had sections of narration told from the perspectives of his close family and friends, and how his trials impacted them in positive and negative ways. The relationships within the family feel very authentic, with perfect chemistry especially between Owen Wilson and Julia Roberts. They play Augie’s parents. Jacob Tremblay plays Augie, and he’s outstanding. Several other ways the movie defied my expectations: 1) Augie is a complex character, often incorrigible and kind of naughty and not just a victim. 2) The movie made me sympathize with more people than just him, including his longsuffering sister who hardly ever gets parental attention given to her. 3) The bully who escalates the threats on Pullman is not as hardened as he initially seems. 4) Augie becomes a paragon of the human spirit of discovery, more than just an inspiration for enduring rejection. He shows more interest in discovering the world than people who have normal faces. I don’t know why that is, unless he’s just more introspective due to his deformity. The movie is quite touching, and it ought to be shown in schools and hopefully will. It belongs to all people, kids and adults, and is equally accessible to any intelligence level.

This is one of those movies you can watch many times and it will pull at your heart AND your tear ducts every time. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it!

It made you think hard about those less fortunate of healthy bodies. How learning to have the right attitude can make a big difference in not only your life but others.

Great movie. Great Message. Great acting that is believable-not just entertaining. This movie also moved me and my emotions. I had to add this to my collection.

Loved this movie. Makes you realize how personal things can get an the issues people go through. Very touching and heartfelt. Watchable many times!

A great family friendly movie that opens up some good discussion with children. This is one of the few times the movie is actually better than the book!

Such a good movie. Made me laugh made me cry. Great cast as well. A lot of people could learn from this movie. Don’t ever judge a book by its cover.

My daughter read the book in school and saw the movie in theaters. we got it for christmas and they watch it at least every other week.

Awesome movie with a great story. If you want something to watch that will keep you interested, watch this. You won't be disappointed.

A movie to watch as a family, and definitely with children of all ages. Bullying doesn't win. Love and kindness does! MUST SEE!!

I purchased this movie at the request of my teenage daughter and we really enjoyed it. Great life lessons to be learned.

I had this movie on my Christmas list but didn’t get it. I was very excited to find it online at Best Buy for a great price.
