6/10
Excellent, except for the Hollywood ending.

PAY IT FORWARD is a well acted, well made movie, and it *is* worth watching. In a few spots, though, in pushes the sentimentality almost a bit too far, which is tolerable... until the ending which goes right over the top trying to make everybody cry but had the opposite effect on me. Then it became melodrama and sentimentality on par with James Cameron's TITANIC. Everything leading up to the unnecessary ending, though, is so worth watching that it's hard not to recommend it.
