Heartwarming Film, 10 March 2008
8/10
Author: karenqb from Texas

I had little expectation entering this film. I only knew of one or two Wesley Willis songs and little else. I was truly inspired as I watched this story unfold. Though the production quality lacked in many areas, the content could not be denied. It was a film that pulled you so deeply into the story that you stopped noticing the frame resolution and audio hisses.

This is a brilliant story of an inspiring individual. As we walk through his life, we begin to see the obstacles and 'demons' that Wesley faced on a daily basis.

If you don't want to be more than you are after watching this film, I would be very disappointed. This film forces you to realize that you are capable of doing anything and being anything you want to be.

Great film.
