Based on a true story
PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Hilary Swank: Erin Gruwell, freshman English teacher at Wilson High (aka Ms. G)
Imelda Staunton: her Department Head Margaret Campbell
Patrick Dempsey: Erin’s husband Scott
Scott Glenn: her father Steve, a successful attorney
April Lee Hernandez: Eva, one of Erin’s outspoken students
Mario: another student André
Deance Wyatt: Jamal, the class-clown
REVIEW
Perhaps because it’s based on a true story and some great acting by Swank as the teacher, the movie has an authentic look and feel about it. There are a couple of really touching moments as well as a few humorous situations.
CLASSIFICATION
FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
When Erin and a colleague, the “honors” course instructor are having a discussion, the amount of orange drink remaining in the bottle changes depending upon whose perspective it is viewed from.
P.S.
Since graduation some of the students have created a website at http://www.freedomwritersfoundation.org/site/c.kqIXL2PFJtH/b.2259975/k.BF19/Home.htm
