Movie Reviews of Door to Door
Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Patience and persistence. That's what Bill Porter's mother tells him on the day he goes to apply for a job with the Watkin's company as a door to door salesman. And it serves him well. After being rejected once, Bill returns to ask for the worst route available - the one no one else wants to take. Bill is now a working man. The movie follows his life as he excels as a salesman and as a human being. Its a great story to make you realize the effect you can have on people's lives - I won't say anymore, but when you watch, I'll bet there will be a misty eye or two!William H. Macy deserved an Oscar for his portrayal of Bill Porter and the supporting cast is superb as well. Its a real-life movie that will leave you smiling in the end.
Movie Review: Commendable Film
Summary: 5 Stars
No doubt about it, Door to Door is the Outstanding Film Made for TV in the recently concluded Primetime Emmy Awards 2003. William Macy truly gave an astounding performance as Bill Porter, a salesman, but not your ordinary salesman. He can touch your life. Though suffering from Celebral Palsy but this does not gave him the reason to quit to be a salesman that de dreamed of to have. Truly, the triumph of human spirit was revealed in this film...overcoming whatever sickness, problems or prejudices that life can bring. Courage and conviction are elements that this film can show to us. I commend Macy and his associates for a brilliant scripting. There's no dragging dialogue and well-chronicled. I recommend this to everyone. Excellent!
Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
William Macy, like no other actor I think, can evoke such feelings of compassion. He is also plays a very likeable developmentally disabled person in this film. Bring a Kleenex box along when you view this movie. As a parent of a severely disabled autistic boy, I felt for the character who was limited in his coping skills but who tried and tried and tried to make his life meaningful and to help others through his job as a traveling salesman. Detractors may say Macy over acts, but I think his character makes a sterling point, that people can overcome their severe disabilities with perseverance and the constancy that evolves from the honesty of the human heart. A+

Movie Review: William H. Macy gives the perfomance of a lifetime!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is hard to believe that William H. Macy did not get an Oscar for his performance in this film. The film tells the real life story of a door-to-door salesman named Bill Porter (Macy) who overcomes his challenges with cerebral palsy in order to become the company's most successful door-to-door salesman. Having overcome physical challenges, the movie shows the human side of Bill Porter as it shows the wall of self-independence he has erected and the friendships he develops, and almost loses, as he allows others who care about him to help him and become a part of his life. This movie is funny, heart-warming, and endearing thanks to what I consider the best performance from William H. Macy ever. A must see movie!
Movie Review: A positive perspective on Life, as it should be.
Summary: 5 Stars
Bill Porter is one of the many everyday man or woman that are real heros going around this world. It was a great idea to present his life in a movie. He is a simbol of many men and women that do their best, despite all the adversities that they have to fight.
This is the type of film that may bring many emotions, but it deserves to be seen. The key actors do a great job, by the end of the film, you feel as if you have been there. After seeing it, you will not feel sorry for Bill Porter, instead we feel good, because he is a man that did accomplish something in life, living a life similar to many of us and still setting a standard of integrity and will.
