 A must see for parents March 18, 1999
Wonderful movie! Every parent who has a child that participates in any competitive activity needs to see this film. Substitute soccer or baseball for chess in this film and you can see yourself. Stellar cast with great turns by Fishburn and young Max. One of the best movies to watch with your kids.
A+ Sports Film March 18, 1999
I would rate this amongst the best sports films ever made. It exposes the difficult balance between competeing for pleasure and the maintenance of being considered the best.Superb casting. Laurence Fishburn and Ben Kinglsey stand out as the chess teachers who develop their pupil's instinct and strategic prowess. Great dramatic tension between the two. The young boy who stars as Josh does a terrific job of communicating his every thought with facial expressions.
More than just chess February 18, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
"Searching for Bobby Fischer" is more than just another chess movie. This film is about the bonds of love between a son and his parents, and how some things in life can weaken that bond. While the movie brings to life the little known aspects of chess tournaments, its main theme is that of proper parenting. The actors do an excellent job of portraying their real life counterparts. I highly recommend this movie to everyone, not just chess players, but parents as well. The lessons learned here are universal.
Wonderful story, touching production. December 4, 1998
You don't have to like chess to love this movie! Based on a true story, the characters of this family drama have a realism which draws you back to this movie, time and time again. This is a great family flick, and you can't help but cheer on the characters as they learn about this child's special gift. Uplifting, great production, and a must own movie.
