That's What I Am (2011)
Written and directed
by Michael Pavone this film stars Ed Harris, Molly Parker and Chase
Ellison. A young boy comes of age during his time in 8th
grade thanks to the influence of a teacher.
As a coming of age
film this is fairly standard fair, the plot is nothing unusual and
while it does aim to look at some interesting issues it never goes
deep enough into them or the character motivations. Occasionally the
script veers towards over sentimentality but largely manages to stay
out away from going over the top. What is unusual about this film is
that it was produced by WWE studios, it is a pretty large departure
from their usual fair and is really not as bad as you would expect
for a film that basically went straight to DVD.
3/5
