We wanted to find some movies that we could show to my cousin's 11 year old son who is coming to live with us (a gay couple) that might help him better understand how to be tolerant and accepting of others who are different. "That's What I Am" definitely does a good job in communicating that, using a story-telling style that reminds me of the ABC After-school Specials but with far better acting, writing and production values. The presentation of tolerance is nicely, though very simply (too simply) framed, but that makes it all the more understandable for an adolescent.Ed Harris is very good as Mr. Simon, the favorite English teacher. Though the portrayal is a bit cartoonish at times, it fits with the overall style of the movie. Chase Ellison is great as the student, Andy, that Mr. Simon nudges into befriending a school outcast. Supporting roles are well-cast with the exception of pro wrestler Randy Orton, who plays the father of another student (a bully) who threatens to out Mr. Simon as a homosexual based solely on rumor. Orton is neither an actor nor does he seem comfortable playing his role in this period piece set in the late 1960s. The film was produced by WWE Studios, so presumably this was a vehicle built at least in part around him... and that's unfortunate. He comes off as a pro wrestler who can't act playing a role that could have been done by any number of others so much better.Something that I notable about this film is that it serves as a reminder of, back in the 60s (as well as for years afterward) how easily a person's life could be ruined simply based on the rumor of the person being gay. I totally appreciated that, but at the same time as we look to help an 11-year-old feel more comfortable living with two dads now, this film is not the place to start. Only when he is able to understand the context of the period in time in which the story takes place will he benefit from this aspect of the film.Lastly, since was in grade school during the 1960s, I really enjoyed the look of the film. The production design takes great care to be true to the era, from cars to clothes, to home decor, to the old reel lawn mower Andy pushes around. It was fun to watch just for that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nothing exceptional, but still worth watching *by J***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 3, 2014* This is a movie with a message, but does not get too carried away with getting the message across.The message is stated in the synopsis on the DVD case; "tolerance takes courage".To get this message across the storyline has some strange characters: Stanley who is the biggest kid in the school, yet gets bullied; Mr. Simon, who will not defend himself when a student he got expelled makes accusations which could ruin him; and Andy, the main character, who gets caught in the middle and must make some decisions which would be very hard for an eight grader.The movie is seen mainly from Andy's point of view, which helps the viewer understand the difficulty he has in making his discussions.This is a "coming-of-age" movie, but is this case the coming-of-age is not just Andy's dealing with his first love, but also maturing in other ways, such as understanding tolerance and courage.Be sure and watch the credits at the end of the movie because while the credits are running it also has a "where are they now" feature which is fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good movie.
