    5/5 Motivation for the Young!!
      by Doris V. Simpson
    When I got to see this movie for the first time on the Hallmark channel I was so glad to see the real person interact with the story! I love autobiographies and this hit home! I myself had to be taken out of school at the age of 16yrs to help support my family after my dad had a trucking accident and was off work for 2yrs due to several knee surgeries. This took place back in the 50's so they didn't have all the disability and medical assistance that we have today. Workmans Compinsation at that time only paid $27.00 a week for a family of 12. I was able to get work based only on my ability to learn quickly and my willingness to step out beyound boundries. My schooling was something I wanted to finish and I did in 1994 with diploma, cap and gown! It was great to have my husband, 2 of my 4 children and 3 of my grandchildren to wittness the ceremony! Not knowing at the time within a year after my husband suddenly died so I was faced with supporting myself. Perserverence got me to a far better job then I dreamed! Hired in 3 days with best pay ever!

    Great real life story--Lou Diamond Phillip as janitor trying to pass GED test to save his job is over the top--great story line and cast.

    In a Class of His Own Summary Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 09/25/2001 Run Time: 94 Minutes Rating: Nr

    A janitor will lose his job because he never graduated, but his learning disabilities make passing the equivalency exam almost impossible. Surprisingly, this slight premise arouses a powerful emotional reaction in this heartfelt film. The true story of Rich Donato stars Lou Diamond Phillips, generally an action star, who delivers on the promise he showed as Ritchie Valens in La Bamba for playing passionate, real-life characters. Donato enjoyed being a high school custodian because it gave him the opportunity to be a trusted mentor to the students when life got too hard for them. What Rich gave all those kids comes back to him in spades when they rally to protect his job. Except for Joan Chen and hot newcomer A.J. Buckley (The In Crowd), the cast is made up mostly of teen unknowns, but Marisa Rudiak, Candice McClure, and especially Tyler Labine give rounded performances communicating the pain and shame of confronting scholastic failure. The scenes with Cara Buono as Rich's wife show the best aspect of the movie in its ability to win our hearts by simply showing how the characters interact. Unfortunately the Showtime film sometimes goes overboard, showing Rich break dancing or playing basketball to make him appear "cool," or worse yet making speeches and "philosophizing." Significantly, writer-director Robert Munic understands the traumas of youth and the heroism of everyone in the education field who nurture the most precious natural resource, its children. --Lloyd Chesley
