The Cure (Movie)

I thought this was a good movie - not great, but good. It addresses the current topic dealing with kids, or anyone who end up with AIDS through a blood transfusion (a rare event nowadays). This movie is not for young children because of language and other inferences made in some of the scenes. Some of the situations were a little out there, but still it got the main theme of the movie across. July 20, 2008

One of my faves!

Most of my favorite movies were not critically-acclaimed and not big box-office winners. And this is a prime example. On the surface it is a drama, but there are many layers to this moving story. It is a thought-provoking and inspirational movie. April 7, 2008

An 80's Treasure

The main characters in this film are disillusioned with goodness in this world and they find it in one another. It makes a statement against social prejudice, that it is excactly that, prejudice, and that they (the main characters) would have sacrificed a meaningful friendship and personal development had they give in. Another theme in this movie is about not being resigned to life and living even in the face of death. The downside to this release is that the disc is in 4:3 aspect ratio and some of the breathtaking scenery that the film was captured in does not shine through, especially in the world of HD today. The story does shine through however and it captures some of the fears of its day about AIDS. I like the hope this movie holds to, of people in each other. I give it 5 Stars! March 23, 2008

A Sad Touching Story From Top To Bottom

What can i say about this movie??????? There's only one or two words to describe "The Cure", and that is 'Sad' and 'Touching'.

Brad Renfro (sadly passed away) and Joseph Mazzello did an amazing performance as their role as Eric & Dexter.

Two boys who live next door befriend with Dexter having aids, and his buddy Eric search for clues to find a cure in time.
Once he search for answers, both Eric and Dexter embark on a mission to New Orleans where a famous doctor helps guys like Dexter heal their disease.
But sadly, their journey ends in disaster where both Dexter and Eric head back home to find that Dexter's life is in jeapordy.

I have to say that this movie was so emotional i couldn't help but bursted out with tears.
There are some fun stuff that Eric and Dexter does while they are on their journey, they also have an adventure of a lifetime.

This movie is a must see. I give it 5 out of 5.
