Summary of this DVD...
It was made for TV, and filmed entirely in my hometown of Columbus, OH (if you live in Cbus, you'll see a shot of the OSU towers near the Shoe and the King and Fifth Streeet bridges as she crosses the Olentangy River on foot). Speak is about a high school freshman who doesn't fit in. Her close group of friends broke up over the previous summer, each of the other three girls joining a different clique. Melinda doesn't fit in to any clique. Her art teacher, played by Steve Zahn, is the type of teacher we'd all choose if we could. He assigns each student an object which they will explore in their own ways over the course of the year. Melinda finds her own voice through this art, and learns to deal with the events of the past summer. I very highly recommend this movie to anyone, and everyone.
This type of DVD is good for...
Adolescent and teenage girls, and anyone who enjoys a very well-written, character driven story
I especially liked...
Steve Zahn's character-Zahn is an underated actor. His portrayal of this art teacher, and his methods of reaching students and teaching, are fantastic.
When I finished viewing this DVD I wanted to...
Share it with everyone I possibly could, so I immediately wrote this review.
This DVD made me feel...
A wide range of emotions: anger, frustration, redemption, enlightenment
The cast of this DVD...
Kristen Stewart, Elizabeth Perkins, D. B. Sweeney, Steve Zahn
