Searching for Bobby Fischer (VHS, 1994)

I saw a biography about Bobby Fischer and so I thought I would look this movie up. I was disapointed at first because it wasn't really a biography about Bobby Fischer. I fast forwarded through much of it. When I realized it was a biography about Josh Waitzkin who played like a young Bobby Fischer , I gave the film another chance. The supurb acting abililty of Max Pomeranc as Josh Waitzkin has now made this film into a classic in my book. I have never seen such talent in a young child since Margert O'Brien. He's so completley natural and yet knows just how to play each emotion. Laurence Fishburne and Ben Kingsley were also a pleasure to watch. The story line moves a little slow, but watching Max makes the time worthwhile. This is a great movie that all members of the family can watch together.
