Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this movie was just going to be another one of those.. boring movies. WRONG! Door to Door is about a salesman(Bill Porter), however, he has cerebral palsy and he walks door to door. Being a salesman is very hard, however, Bill doesn't give up. He has alot of patience and persistence thanks to his mom. There are alot of ups and downs in this guys life, however, he keeps going. Have a tissue box. DVD Review: Neighborhood Thread
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this first because I enjoy this type of movie, but I wasn't sure how it would be. My wife made it clear she wasn't interested when I told her the synopsis. But about a half hour of listening convinced her otherwise and she was soon sitting next to me watching. It will draw people into it. William Macy, Helen Mirrin, Kyra Sedgwick, and the rest the cast are outstanding. This movie is not to sweet nor to depressing. The story based on Bill Porter is well handled. The directing is spot on and the camera work and sets take us to the past about fifty years and works back to the present. I loved how it showed his daily routine and those that helped him overcome the little bumps of not having the use of one hand and arm. If you want to see how a man with cerebal palsy was able to overcome his difficutlies and become a top door to door saleman, be sure to catch this movie. It is a heartwarmer for the whole family. The DVD quality is good.DVD Review: Very good TRUE STORY movie.

Summary: 5 Stars
My wife brought this home because she wanted to take a break from watching sci-fi and watch a "chick flick". Well, I don't know if this really fits the chick flick mold, but it is a "feel good" movie that tells the story of a man who had to feel bad, at least in his physical body, all his life and yet was able to succeed through sheer determination. It made me wonder about why so many able-bodied people can't seem to hold down a job.
One thing I really enjoyed that I don't see too many writing about is how each time period was faithfully represented through set decoration, costumes, cars on the street etc. One thing I like to do with movies set in different time periods is look for anachronisms, things that don't belong there, and I didn't see any. I really felt like I was moving forward in time, and I enjoyed all the cars (how many Hollywood car collections were involved in this movie?) and appliances, room decor, and popular music on the radios as we moved from 1955 to 1997.
It goes without saying that was made this movie work was the talented acting. Not any group of people could have pulled this off. My only question is why I had never heard of this movie before.
Description of Door to Door
A man with cerebral palsy is determined to become a salesman. Studio: Turner Hm Entertainm Release Date: 04/26/2005 Starring: William H Macy Helen Mirren Run time: 90 minutesThis earnest movie about a door-to-door salesman with cerebral palsy (based on the true story of Bill Porter) could have been cloyingly sweet, but a sense of humor and the clear, unpretentious performance of William H. Macy keep it from drowning in sentiment. Door to Door follows Porter from when he first gets his job (by convincing a skeptical sales manager to give him the worst route the company has) in the mid-'50s, to his brief retirement in the late 1990s, when door-to-door salesmen became outmoded by catalogs and the Internet. The depiction of how Porter became part of the lives of his customers may feel a little pat, but the portrait of Porter himself--particularly how his persistent independent spirit was also a wall between him and others--is honest and affecting. Also featuring Kyra Sedgwick and the great Helen Mirren as Porter's mother. --Bret Fetzer
