Matt Damon stars as Will Hunting, a closet math genius who ignores his gift in favor of nightly boozing and fighting with South Boston buddies (co-writer Ben Affleck among them). While working as a university janitor, he solves an impossible calculus problem scribbled on a hallway blackboard and reluctantly becomes the prodigy of an arrogant MIT professor (Stellan Skarsgård). Damon only avoids prison by agreeing to see psychiatrists, all of whom he mocks or psychologically destroys until he meets his match in the professor's former childhood friend, played by Williams. Both doctor and patient are haunted by the past, and as mutual respect develops, the healing process begins. The film's beauty lies not with grand climaxes, but with small, quiet moments. Scenes such as Affleck's clumsy pep talk to Damon while they drink beer after work, or any number of therapy session between Williams and Damon offer poignant looks at the awkward ways men show affection and feeling for one another. --Dave McCoy

Customer Reviews of Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector's Series)
Have you ever? Have you ever been to a shrink? Feel a little different, or want to see what brilliant people do when not nurtured? Then watch this film. No one disappoints, and Robin is at his usual best, while Damon brings it home.
I am just an old prude...
but this movie was ruined for me due to the constant use of the "F" word and other crudities. I did not like any of the characters very much. Generally, I enjoy Matt Damon's acting a great deal, but "Good Will Hunting" in my view is one of the most overrated films of the past 20 years.
Good Will Hunting
"Good Will Hunting" was a fresh and impressive writing/acting debut for Hollywood unknowns Damon and Affleck, but it's Williams's Oscar-winning performance, as the mentor who helps Will face his past and future, that really hits home. Targeting both the elitism of the academy and the anti-intellectual currents that constrain real talent in our culture, Van Sant's film is a sensitive, uplifting story about the challenge of self-realization.
