Watch Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Boring

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

How is being homeless a disadvantage? I can understand the feeling of social outcast, but I think that is norm in today's society. They make it out to be that the main focus in life is money. I can understand wanting to achieve things when you're brought up in an environment where your "guardians" supposedly are the worst kind of people. This movie honestly just makes me want to vomit in how it views success and how it views possibilities and goals and hope in general. It makes it seem hope is something that you can find through hard work and going to college or writing a piece of literature about yourself that frankly isn't that original. If you want some good autobiography work check out... James Frey (even if bits are fictional he's a hell of a writer), Running with Scissors (not the movie, the book), Kerouac (I think in every piece of his work he has parts that are drawn from his live) or just something effing else

A remarkable story of a remarkable person. It is inspirational. While the title seems to say it all, it is all to stark. The movie does not appear to hide very much. It will stay with me for a long time. I am immensely grateful that neither I, nor my children, had to go through anything nearly as difficult as most days must have been for Liz Murray. Watching it, kind of knowing how it would end, was very difficult. I also wonder how many other children are now going through the same thing but without the astonishing intelligence of Liz Murray. I believe it should be shown in every NYC High School. If it were seen by more students and teachers maybe the drop out rate would be lowered.

I was expecting this movie to be really good. Just by watching the previews of it made it sound like it was interesting, and boy was it. Thora Birch does an excellent job of portraying Liz Murray, a young woman who beats all the odds. She grows up in a broken home with two drug addicted parents who do nothing for her or her sister. Kelly Lynch is amazing as a mother with serious problems. The story really draws you in and it's sad. You want to feel sorry for her, but then you also wonder why she didn't pick up her life earlier than she did. I am so glad I watched this movie. It was truly inspirational.

I laughed and I cried. This movie was so powerful and tells such a wonderful story of survival and determination. The acting was wonderful. A true inspiration. The fact that this is based on a true story makes it even more wonderful.
