The movie Finding Forester, overall, was a good movie for people of all ages. It had action, love, winning, losing, and even death. In the movie Finding Forrester, Jamal Wallace, a young African American high school student at the Bronx, is invited to join a really good private high school because of his high tests scores. One day, Jamal's basketball friends dare him to walk into “The Widow's” house. Jamal wants to show just how fearless he really is, so he accepts the dare. The Widow is actually William Forrester, a well known author that is thought to be dead or missing. William Forrester lives as a ghost type; when Jamal walks into William's house, William scares Jamal with a knife and Jamal runs off, leaving his backpack behind.

When Jamal returns to retrieve his backpack, he finds that all his pieces of writing were commented on. After Jamal's attempt to retrieve his backpack, Jamal goes and asks William if William could help improve his writing skills. William made a deal that if he helped Jamal with his writing, Jamal would keep William's identity a secret, never to take the writing that he does out of his house, and never ask anything about William's family.

Street-wise kid from the Bronx, Jamal Wallace, meets Pulitzer Prize-winning author-turned recluse William Forrester. Forrester teaches Wallace about writing and life, and they form a bond.

Throughout this movie, Jamal and William get to know each other better and they become friends. At Jamal's new school, the exclusive private school, he is accused of plagiarism by his English teacher The English teacher highly doubted that Jamal's piece of writing was really his and not plagiarized.

Overall, Finding Forrester is a great movie that interlace with the theme of friendship. The time Jamal spent with William made them trust each other to keep promises, such as Williams'.
