James Earl Jones! A superb actor...and in this this film, too. Once had the honor of meeting him!

What a marvelous movie. It tells of a man who opens a reading room in a poorer section of a city. It was his wifes dying wish. It teaches us how caring about people can bring about wonderful things. Yes, he has some down times when there is theft, vandalism and worse, but he keeps on trying to spread a little love and caring. This is a movie for the entire family to enjoy and learn from. As it says in the movie: More care, less hate.

The wonderful James Earl Jones, I could listen to his voice for ever it reminds me how we should all speak, ie properly.

The film is no blockbuster but it shows what decent people do all of the roles are understated, except for the aggresive reverend, but all the more enjoyable for that.

How I would love to spend time in that reading room, learning from books and from people.

This is a movie I'm surprised I've not heard anything about. I REALLY liked this movie and was thrilled at what a pleasant surprise it was.

James Earl Jones of course does a great job in starring as a recent widower whose wife's last request was that he open a reading room from her library in a ghetto type neighborhood store they owned for 3 months. He did this for his love for her, having no clue what the point was or how to do it. He received much opposition and he was very creative in his methods.

The impact and relationships he had on this community was phenomenal and what a great message to all of us to challenge us to care more and hate less. I highly recommend this movie!
