Review of the movie “The Ron Clark Story”

       The films I have recently watched is “The Ron Clark Story”. It is a 2006 US biographical drama, based on the story of the real educator Ron Clark. The film is directed by Randa Haines, starring Matthew Perry. The events are developing in New York.

Now, let’s look at the plot of the film. Ron Clark leaves his hometown, where he teaches at an elementary school, the school where he is appreciated for his innovative teaching methods and great pupils’ results. Instead, he decides to look for a teaching job in New York city, where he has to work as a waiter. Then, he finds a job at school, where the students are segregated according to their potential. Clark wants to take the most disadvantaged class, but he is white and too nice, it becomes his problem. He realized that these children really need him, and despite the fact that it will be a battle of wills between himself and his disruptive students, he learns that he has to understand each of them before he can teach them the materials. He finds very creative ways to teach children, and it works. Children likes Mr. Clark. But his plans are turned askew by unforeseen events, such as illness. Clark copes with all obstacles and instills a sense of worth within the students. Through it all, he is supported by Marissa Vega, the beautiful waitress and actor.

Speaking about acting, I can not but say that Matthew Perry is one of my favorite actors. Perry is best known for his Emmy - nominated performance on the long-running comedy series Friends. I was shocked by Matthew Perry's performance. Having before only thought of him as the "Friends" guy his new personality took me completely by surprise. 

I think that “The Ron Clark Story” gives an audience hope for a better future. Mr. Perry does a great job telling the story of Ron Clark. Mr. Hudson gives the audience a honest view of how so many of us tend to give up when we feel beat down by the system. Every child should be required to watch this movie for inspiration and hope for better tomorrows. The work of writers, producers, director and actors in this movie is adorable!

Because of the above said reasons I gave this a ten out ten. The movie isn't trite, and there isn't much romance, but I think that it's one of the best movies that I have seen in quite a long time.
