    It's a good movie, but some of the scenes regarding bullying and physical abuse were difficult to watch. Sometime, it seemed like parts of the movie were running-out-of-steam.

    I love this movie so much!! I was bored one day and I decided to watch it because of the incredible cast and it blew me away. I was captivated from start to finish and I was literally depressed after the end of the movie for two days. R.I.P Tom and John. Great performances from everyone. I love their strategy in the court room. Pure genius!! The last scene where they are all together again walking down the hallway is the perfect ending to an out of this world movie :) warning though, very sad and tough to watch at times but totally worth it!
