Movie Review: OSCAR MATERIAL!! A STELLAR CAST AND PERFORMANCE!!
Summary: 5 Stars
William H. Macy as Watkins salesman Bill Porter gives the performance of a lifetime in this drama that took me through a range of emotions in seconds. Kyra Sedgewick does an admirable job as Shelly, Porter's assistant and dear friend. Kathy Baker's role as his best customer, Gladys, was also quite moving. Helen Mirren plays Bill Porter's mother and deserves the highest praise for portraying a strong woman who gives never-ending encouragement to her son, proving that "patience and persistence" will overcome all things, including his cerebral palsey. All in all, this is one of the DON'T MISS movies of your life. This is a true story where each character was played with brilliance. Once you see it, you have to see it again and again. I paid a HIGH price for the VHS on eBay and have watched it six times thus far - I never tire of that warm fuzzy this movie provides. See it, Buy it, Share it, and visit ... to see the REAL Bill Porter and his story, which is also his Watkins website!Movie Review: Wonderful Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Door To Door is about a salesman with cerebral palsy whose name is Bill Porter. Bill travels around door to door selling products for the Watkins Company. On the first day, most people say that they don't need anything. Then Bill sits down for lunch and sees that his mother wrote Patience and Persistence on his sandwich. He decides not to give up. That day he sells some products to a customer and they become friends. He becomes a wonderful salesman and makes many friends. In the middle near the end of the movie, his back is getting bad and so he needs to hire someone to help deliver packages. This is where a girl named Shelly comes in. Bill and Shelly become quick friends and are a wonderful team. You'll just have to watch the rest to find out what happens. This is an execellent movie; it has funny parts and touching parts. What's better is that this is based on a true story. I highly recommend this DVD. William Macy portrays Bill Porter wonderfully!Movie Review: Neighborhood Thread
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this first because I enjoy this type of movie, but I wasn't sure how it would be. My wife made it clear she wasn't interested when I told her the synopsis. But about a half hour of listening convinced her otherwise and she was soon sitting next to me watching. It will draw people into it. William Macy, Helen Mirrin, Kyra Sedgwick, and the rest the cast are outstanding. This movie is not to sweet nor to depressing. The story based on Bill Porter is well handled. The directing is spot on and the camera work and sets take us to the past about fifty years and works back to the present. I loved how it showed his daily routine and those that helped him overcome the little bumps of not having the use of one hand and arm. If you want to see how a man with cerebal palsy was able to overcome his difficutlies and become a top door to door saleman, be sure to catch this movie. It is a heartwarmer for the whole family. The DVD quality is good.Movie Review: If you Understand Cerebral Palsy ....BRILLIANT FILM
Summary: 5 Stars
Door to door is the story of Bill Porter who has Cerebral Palsy. This movie portrays Bills struggle in being accepted into the norms of society and being able to excercise his right to live a normal life. Bill Porter struggles to get a Job as a Door to Door salesman but with Patience and Persistence he gets his position. He takes the worst route ever, and encounters many problems along the way. Bill truly showed patience as he never let the doors slamming in his face or the lady with the stains on her couch bring down his esteem. Bills mother was a very strong character as well, we see how she drills patience and persistence into Bill's head. Later on after being diagnosed with Alzheimers Bill mother is faced with her own stereotypical images as well. A realistic and well done film, an emotional story of one mans fight to be valued by those in the community. .........Must Watch Review: Door to Door
