2000
Helen Hunt, Kevin Spacey, Haley Joel Osment, Jon Bon Jovi
Trevor(Osment) is a quiet kid, starting year 7 at school. When his new teacher Eugene Simonet (Spacey), sets a year long assignment for them to do something that will make the world a better place, Trevor comes up with the idea, pay it forward. He will help three people and they in turn will help another three and so on! However, as a child, Trever soon realises the world is not that simple.
A cute little film with a not so cute little ending. It was very unexpected. Haley was in his element as a child actor at this point and was just about to be seen in AI! Helen Hunt is surprisingly good as a trailer trash alchoholic mom. Spacey is fantastic as usual as the quiet but highley intelligent Eugene.
A fantastic score from Thomas Newman....i instantly recognised his work.
8/10
