High replay value.
One of the deciding factors I use to determine whether or not I will purchase a DVD is, "How many times will I want to see this film?" Well, as far as this DVD is concerned I'm nearing the double-digits in viewings. This is essentially a Family Film with a great cast of actors such as Laurence Fishburn, Joan Allen, Joe Mantegna, Ben Kingsley, David Paymer, William H. Macy, and a small role by the then virtually unknown Laura Linney. After that, there are some fine scenes filled with some excellent child acting. I happen to think any film with good child acting is worth seeing, they are so rare. The story is well-written and ranges in emotion from humor to borderline outrage and deep-seeded disappointment. This film actually reminds me of "The Color of Money" directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Tom Cruise and Paul Newman. I got a similar buzz from both films. After I watch "The Color of Money" I feel an unbridled desire to play pool. After I watch "Searching for Bobby...

No, it's not really about chess....well, not just chess.
This is not a movie only about chess any more than "Field of Dreams" was only about baseball. This is about a father who wants his son to excel, and about a son who just wants his father's love and approval just to be a "normal" kid. "Chess" in this movie could have been a metaphor for any special "gift" or talent, but it is important to mention that this film is based on real-life persons and events. This is a story about finding one's character and courage in the face of mounting pressure and high expectations. It's about a very young boy who wants to be sure his father loves him for who he is, not just for what he can do.Written and directed by Steven Zaillian (who wrote, among other things, the screenplay for Spielberg's "Schindler's List"), SFBF is a heartwarming movie that has you rooting and cheering. And young Max Pomeranc is a real fine young actor! Multiple Oscar-nominee Joan Allen plays the boy's...

Most Under Rated Movie Ever.
And why is it that such a ridiculously good movie has been so clearly overlooked? This is not merely a family film. This film is quietly sitting around some shelves somewhere, being a genius. The very opening, what with the soft strings carrying some undercurrent of whateverness, along with the opening dialogue (spoken so sweetly by a child no other child can dare out perform) is hair-raisingly impressive. It's futile. Every second of this movie can be discussed in great detail: the technical musings, the psychological gamblings, the musical magnum opuses (becoming so excited by the thought of this movie that I'm no longer making any sense whatsoever), the acting...It's quiet and it's absolutely genius. The symbolism is beautiful. I'm thinking mostly of the "Don't move until you see it."/"I can't see it." moment, focusing on the pawn, the King.So it's good.

Josh's parents hire a renowned chess coach, Bruce, who teaches Josh the usefulness of measured planning. Along the way Josh becomes tired of Bruce's system and chess in general and purposely throws a match, leaving the prospects of winning a national championship in serious jeopardy. Top to learn more

Steve Zaillian, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Schindler's List, made his directorial debut with this critically acclaimed but little-seen drama based on the nonfiction book by Fred Waitzkin, about a father (Joe Mantegna) who discovers that his seven-year-old son (Max Pomeranc) is a genius at playing chess. The boy plays chess for fun, but when he's tutored by a former champion (Ben Kingsley) and entered into high-pressure competitions, an enjoyable pastime becomes a source of tension and resentment, forcing the father to reconsider his parental priorities. A poignant study of the difference between parental idealism and proper parenting, the movie is also an observantly witty portrait of a precocious child who is still, after all, a child, and still eager for the joyful discoveries of youth. While offering a fascinating look into the world of competitive chess, the movie's dramatically engrossing and extremely well-acted by a brilliant cast that also includes David Paymer, William H. Macy, and Dan Hedaya in memorable supporting roles. --Jeff Shannon Top to learn more

Stage Mother
That phrase fits the Father in this true story. Here's an example:the now adult once came so close to being an Olympic star when younger,and is now trying to live their dream through their own child. They push and push. You don't have to know a thing about chess to enjoy this movie. You'll go through many facets of your emotions such as laughter,sadness,pity,joy,crying,etc. I recommend close-captioning as it starts out barely audible. Josh is a Grandmaster that has teamed up with computer programmers and has produced "Chessmaster" programs. They are affordable and are ready to insert into your CD/DVD drive. He teaches,with quizzes that will give you a USCF rating (equivalent). You can play against the computer,or pick out of 150 personalities also for a rating.Rubo

An inspiring book about the ordeals of a chess prodigy.
"Searching for Bobby Fischer" is a very good book with many anecdotes and milestones in the life of Fred Waitzkin, and his chess playing son, Josh Waitzkin. At first, I considered this another boring biography, but as I started reading, I was drawn by it. It's not a biography...it is a 'real' book that describes many difficulties of being a chessplayer. The 'Washington Square Park' and 'Trip to Moscow' chapters captured my attention the most. I would reccomend this book to just about anyone, whether you play chess or not.

Intruiging,
A real story about a brilliant pre-adolescent chess player. The author is the subjects father so we get as close to the action as any writer can get. Not only that but the father is a professional sports writer. This is a promising combination that delivers. The book follows, very closely, the career of the subject as well as his personal development. It is a continuous evolution of many captivating small stories that are well written and easy to understand. Total involvement and captivation is inevitable. The book is written by the father of the subject, and because of this we get a far more intimate and accurate account, and makes the book even more interesting because the writer was directly involved in every scene and he communicates his feelings. The relationship between father and son is itself very intriguing. We also get a in depth look at the reclusive world of the chess enthusiast and professional in the states and abroad. This is the type of book that...

After I watch there is a sweeping camera shot that begins with a dark shot of a hallway ceiling then floats through an archway into a huge, empty hall filled with dozens of chess boards ready for play. I happen to think any film with good child acting is worth seeing, they are so rare. One of the deciding factors I use to determine whether or not I will purchase a DVD is, How many times will I want to see this film. This film did get a single Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography, and with shots like those it is easy to see why. This film actually reminds me of The Color of Money directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Tom Cruise and Paul Newman.

Searching for Bobby Fischer Josh Waitzkin is just a typical American boy interested in baseball when one day he challenges his father at chess and wins. Josh's parents hire a renowned chess coach, Bruce, who teaches Josh the usefulness of measured planning.

Unlike a lot of modern films though, ‘Searching for Bobby Fischer’ was not designed with product placement in mind. ‘Searching for Bobby Fischer’ was released in 1993 but still never fails to make an impact on an audience whenever it is viewed. ‘Searching for Bobby Fischer&apos. Unlike his idol Bobby Fischer &ndash. Vinnie teaches him ‘speed chess’ whilst Josh’s parents hire a renowned chess coach called Bruce who teaches Josh the value of measured and tactical planning. Josh refuses to allow the game to turn him into a human robot that no one wants to talk to. It is the relationships between him self his father and the various chess masters he plays that keep Josh sane and prevent him from becoming alienated and... Watching Josh make his moves against masters of the game really does convince you to go out and buy chess sets to see if you can recapture some of the magic of the film. The scenes with Josh playing in Washington Square in New York are amongst the best ever committed to film and all the players he faces off against are real chess players and champions (with the exception of one). t come away from the movie without wanting to buy chess sets for everyone you know as well as your self, then you have a hardened soul.
