Movie Reviews of Charly
Movie Review: Pulls at the heart strings....
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this movie to watch with my 8th grade language arts class. We had recently read "Flowers for Algernon" and I thought that the movie would be a good suplement. I was correct. The children, all 13 and 14 year olds related with this movie much easier than the text and when we went back and reviewed what we read they brought a bigger perspective and the conversations really picked up. I would recomend this movie to anyone that teaches and would be reading "Flowers for Algernon" or to anyone who is interested in Mental Retardation. This is a science fiction film but can really pull at your heart strings. Have a tissue close-by.Movie Review: "THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT A LOW FUNCTIONING MAN NAME CHARLY"
Summary: 5 Stars

GET THIS DVD.Movie Review: A Little hokey, but quite the heart yanker.
Summary: 5 Stars
Charly does indeed show its 1960's origin, but it still yanks at your heart. Cliff Robertson does a wonderful job in this flower-child movie and if you know the book, you'll want to keep this movie close at hand. Movies are never as good as the book, but after seeing this movie, I quickly bought the book (Flowers for Algernon) and enjoyed it more than if I hadn't seen the movie first. A very enjoyable movie and looking forward to it coming out on DVD.Movie Review: Not as good as "Flowers for Algernon" (the book) but who cares?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very sad and touching story about a retarted man who becomes a genius through an experimental brain surgery. He is able, for the first time, to see the world as it really is and even finds love. The book is much better than the film but the film is unique in it's 1960's stylized visuals and music. This story is so good, that I a surprised Hollywood hasn't re-made it yet.Movie Review: An oldie but goodie DVD to add to your collection
Summary: 5 Stars
When I think of my favorite movie with Cliff Robertson...this is it.
Based on Flowers for Algernon.....this is the movie version. It lets us painfully see sometimes....how ignorance can be bliss and reality can rear it's ugly head. But at the same time there is alot of joy as you watch Charly growth in his learning process. I love this movie.
