told to simply "pay it forward." Pay it forward is a movie about helping others‚ but it is more a look at the personal conflicts of several different people.

First off‚ I like the theme of Pay it Forward. Although you might not realize it at first‚ the movie is working on two timelines at the same time‚ one following

How many times have you said about a movie "it was good but I preferred the book"?

Regardless of whether a movie is based on a book‚ books are better for providing the type of entertainment which

“I have never been the same person alone that I am with people.” (Phillip Roth) I can directly relate with this quote‚ I’m sure quite a few people can. So often‚ we act differently in private than we do with others. Of course‚ it’s all dependent upon who the ‘others’ are.
