i lve this movie,, I hope every youth and teacher or student must watch this kind of movie, because it make us realize that we had a freedom to express or true emotion in a way of writing it. It makes me feel that I am so blessed that I don't have a love ones kill in font of me, and I live in a peaceful place and have a peaceful life. I hope everyone must appreciate this movie and gain a knowledge how life is important.

Once again Holly Failed
If they want to make a inspiring movie do it with out the bad language, someone cursing their head off, sleeping with someone till the cows come home, and getting higher then a kite, if half of the movies HollyWood makes didn't have this stuff in it then maybe they wouldn't get blamed with half the stuff that goes on in America.

Afterschool special meets Boyz in the Hood
Superb acting by a wonderful cast make this true story believable. Very moving performances. Quite violent, but in context and necessary for the effectiveness of the film. Took my 13 y.o. daughter and her friend to see it, and I was glad I did, although it is a very intense film with a lot of sadness in it. Overall, if you want to show your kids how gang violence shapes kids' worlds and one, admittedly far-fetched but true nevertheless, way an individual can make a difference, I highly recommend this movie.

Great moving and inspirational movie for tweens but not for young kids.
TERRIFIC movie!!! A lot of swearing including two uses of the the f- word but you can only hear one well. There is some blood and shooting and disturbing fights between kids but nothing to bad. It also may be harder to understand for younger audiences. Very inspirational.

It was a great movie
I love the movie. It really taught me something about how other people have to live. It taught me that I am very lucky. I saw how some people live. When I saw the movie I wanted to help people who live this way, or people who go to a schools like that. there are some bloody violence but over all it's ok. But if your 12 or younger I would see it with an adult.

Freedom Writers was a very attention-grabbing film. It made me realize how lucky I was to not have to worry about being shot the moment I stepped out my front door. In the beginning of the movie, I knew Mrs. G (Hilary Swank) was in for a big shock on her first day of teaching. She adjusted fairly quickly to the attitudes of her class, but she didn't give up on them like other teachers in the school had. She knew that they were yearning to be understood. If all teachers were like her (and this was based on a true story), I think the world would be a better place. Freedom Writers is a MUST see!

I have to admit this movie wasn't as good as i thought it was going to be. It was really a good message but moved around a lot and was a little boring at some parts. But I was very impressed with Hilary Swanks's perfomance!!!

I give this movie 2 stars. I think the movie was Ok . The movie is about teenagers who live around gangs that become better students through the help of their teacher. My favorite part was when the Latino gang member shot the Asian teenager because it showed that being in a gang is dangerous. My favorite character is Jamal because he stands up for himself. This movie is not worth seeing in the theatre - rent it!
