Just imagine. You do a favour that really helps someone and tell him or her not to pay it back, but to pay it forward to three other people who, in turn, each pay it forward to three more - and on and on into a global outpouring of kindness and decency. Impossible? That's a word junior high student Trevor McKinney won't accept.
Haley Joel Osment plays Trevor, who starts a chain reaction of goodness for his social studies project in this bittersweet and uplifting tale directed by Mimi Leder (Deep Impact), based on the novel by Catherine Ryan Hyde and also starring Academy Award winners Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt. How much impact can one heartfelt idea have? Do yourself a favour and find out: see Pay It Forward.

I would have never imagined a Film would have so much impact of my way of thinking and of Life in General. Enjoyed the Cast. Only wished I had listened to my peers earlier who suggested I see this Film.
This is another movie with top notch acting from Haley Joel Osment besides the Sixth Sense and A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. You will instantly fall in love with him just by a look into those eyes. Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt also did a spendid job. You either love the movie or hate it but you definitly will remember it.
Loved the premise of paying it forward and think we should all adopt it as our religion. However, I found this film so sicky sweet that I consider making an appointment to see my dentist because I felt sure the sweetness had decayed my teeth. Flat script at times, the acting was over the top a lot of the time. However, having said that I recommend it to everyone so that we can all learn about paying it forward.
This movie was cast so well, all the actors did a superb job of creating a wonderfully inspiring movie that touches your heart. I found Pay It Forward to be a magnificant, beautiful movie with a magificent story that i am sure would relate to everyone in someway. Be prepared to have the tissues handy though! It is heart wrenching, but worth every viewing minute. This movie will make you appreciate everything in your life.
Pay it forward is a beautiful beautiful movie. It is sad, moving and inspiring most of all. Starring Helen Hunt, Haley Joel Osmont and Kevin Spacey, it tells of a boys idea to pay good deeds forward - it is just the most beautiful idea
gosh this movie is incredible!! i love it, it just really tears me up every time i watch it, because haley joel osment really captures your heart, as he is so cute and wants to do some good in the world. he is such an amazing and inspirational little boy. this film is sure to capture your heart, its so sad at the end, gosh. love it!
Ahh, the good old Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt. It took me quite a few goes to get into this movie, and to get the gist of it, but once you do, it can be a real tear jerker. There tends to be a bit of jumping back and forward before you can really get into it, but definitely worth a watch.
Kevin Spacey does pretty well in these feel good movies generally but this one doesn’t really work for me. There is so much cheese factor here that it’s hard to move through and the moral of the story “paying it forward” while admirable just comes across as contrived and fake. Still it’s a good enough movie for a Sunday night that I could give it 2 stars.
this movie is so sad it shows so many great feelings to make you enjoy the movie even more. if you like soppy love movies you may like this, if you like movies where the feelings really come out then you will really love this movie becvause the feelings really do come out i give this movie all stars because it really gets you to like it.
