Confissões de Tru

I mean he's not even Twenty yet, and he is already showing he's good at drama as well as comedy. He is like the next Robin Williams. You may know him best has the goofy oddball brother in Even Stevens. But in this film he plays Eddie, a teenager strugling with a mental disabilty, who tries to make the best out of things. He gave a real good performance. Clara Bryant also gave a good performance has Tru, Eddie's sweet but uptight sister. Mare Winningham is good has there patient mom. A sweet film for the whole family.

I used to love the disney channel when i was younger but since I have reached my teens I have found the channel not to be that great until this movie came on. This has got to be the best disney channel movie I have ever seen. It was touching and it was realistic and it showed people what its like to live with a developmentally disabled person. It also showed how cruel people can be to people with disabilities. It was an amazing movie and I would recommend it to anyone. (Beware though because if you are anything like me you are going to cry.)

I really liked Shia LaBeouf in this movie--he protrayed a handicapped person very well. But Tru's attitude was a lot worse in the movie than in the book. She was a total jerk in the movie, but not as much in the book.

This movie was really touching, and I loved the part where Billy Meier fell in the lake!!!

Disney movies are always cute, but not good. I enjoy Disney, all the shows, especially Even Stevens. The Reason, Mr. Shia LaBeouf. On Even Stevens your trying desperately not to laugh, but when he hits the screen, you do. However, on Tru Confessions you don't laugh very much, there's more sadness coming from Mr. Shia LaBeouf. Disney really worked hard on this movie, and it shows! The movie is so believable, you'll wonder, "how does this kid stay in character?" So, do I recommend this movie? YES! It easily receives 8/10 stars.

When a local TV station puts on a filming contest, teenager Tru Walker (Clara Bryant) is in on it in a heartbeat. Her life seems too full of drama to document - including a surgeon father who is never there and a mother, Ginny (Mare Winningham), who seems not to be there even when she is. In the end, Tru opts to make a movie about his mentally handicapped twin brother, Eddie (Shia LaBeouf). But as airtime approaches, Tru fears how others will react to her very personal story.

The film is based on the first novel by children's author Janet Tashjian which was written in the format of a diary entered into a computer and uses lists and illustrations, the film is super cute, has a beautiful soundtrack, which packs our tears with this cute and dramatic script, the scenes between the brothers and the family, the difficulties they face and the prejudiced look of society, all so painfully real, a realistic fiction, a lesson in love and inclusion...
