Movie Reviews of Door to Door

Movie Review: One of the short list of films you will never forget
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie had a profound impact on me. No one makes it through life without hardship. But some face more of an uphill battle than most. Bill Porter (played by Macy) was born with cerebral palsy, lost his father early in life, cared for his ailing mother and all the while resisted living off of social services and often refused even a helping hand.

This movie will make you feel guilty for ever being negative, feeling sorry for yourself, or stressing over little things which are never as important as they seem. It will also remind you that physical disability is not a measure of a person's potential to lead a fulfilling life. This is a story of a remarkable man and will leave you inspired!

The creators of this film could have taken the easy route and milked every sappy scene. Focused on the difficulties faced, played on your emotions and slapped on a Hollywood ending, like everyone else. Well, they didn't. They don't allow you to feel sorry for Bill, because they potray him accurately and Bill would not have you feel sorry for him either.

However, the film doesn't patronize you by painting a rosy picture either. Bill faces real difficulties in the physical demands of his job and the realization that he may not have the things (marriage, children) that many of us take for granted.

This movie makes you think, but allows you to draw your own thoughts. It shows the good with the bad. I loved it and it's not my normal genre. Outstanding!! As a side note: Nothing short of a crime that Macy didn't receive more accolades for his performance.
