Review of October Sky (1999) by Dragon O — 30 Jul 2010
Ever since this movie came out in 1999 my mother has been telling me to watch it. Being the movie lover I am, it's hard to believe I hadn't taken the time until today. Over the years, I've heard nothing but praise for October Sky - the characters, the story, "it's just so good!" - and my mother was right.
Based on a true story, October Sky is one of the most heartwarming, uplifting films I've seen in a long time. It features incredible performances from Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Laura Dern and a host of other actors, whose characters add to the story's depth and charm. I laughed, I cried, I loved every moment, and I highly recommend seeing it. Don't wait 11 years like I did.
