PAY IT FORWARD (2000)
MIMI LEDER
Plot
How many beach houses does Kevin Spacey need for God's sake? An inspirational teacher sets his class the task of doing something to make the world a better place, one of his pupils thinks up the idea of rather than paying back a good deed you pay it forward, thereby creating a chain of positive events. Under certain situations I can be justifiably accused of cynicism, but this really is mawkish, sentimental, manipulative dribble. A fine cast sharing a dubious career move.
