Good Will Hunting - 4 stars

Good Will Hunting deserves all of the acclaim that it got. First-time writers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon won an Oscar for the script. Matt is the star of the show as a genius having trouble facing his past, which in turn makes it hard for him to engage in what he values most. He's forced to see a therapist played by a thoughtful and non-spastic Robin Williams. Minnie Driver is perfectly cast as his love interest. It's brilliantly written and perfectly executed. You feel Boston, you know these characters and you root for them all the way. The only reason I don't rate it higher is that Good Will Hunting is not a ground-breaking film. Also, as a 10 year old movie starring my peers, it makes me feel old...
