Scott Baldwin (Meven_Stoffat) When the movie "The Cure" starts, we find out about a young man named Erik (Brad Renfro). Erik is a teenage boy living with his paranoid mother, and living next door to him is a young boy named Dexter (Joseph Mazello). One day, Erik and Dexter connect and head up to the supermarket, where Dexter gets his first taste of Butterfinger. When Erik learns out that Dexter has AIDS, he tries leaves-and-water tea to make it better. But when the front cover of The National Enquirer says a New Orleans doctor has found the cure for AIDS, the two boys will stop at nothing to get to New Orleans for the cure.In my opinion, "The Cure" is easily one of the best friendship movies ever made. It shows unconditional love between a boy, his (new) best friend, and his best friend's mom. Everything is so well done, nothing needs to be changed. Not only do I give this a 10/10 for being a fantastic friendship movie, but it also is a sad, but humorous, and fun AIDS movie. And the tragic finale with Dexter's contraction of AIDS is enough to make me shed a tear. Very well done.

mildburden When I first reviewed this film, for "Our Mother of the Worthless Miracle" newsletter, I gave it a resounding, "I don't think so!" But, upon that review I've watched it again, and now, I'm happy to say, "Yes I think so!" Let us begin with the story. A delicate bond between the two young men (Brad Renfro and Joesph Mazzello) carry the sentiment in almost homosexual undertones. Call me crazy but that just hits me in the heart. The acting, which, at first glance appeared wooden and stilted,now it is fluid and graceful, like a glass of water dancing with a clown. And, for me, the most overlooked performance in the film is that of Jim.(Played by the poor man's Harvey Kietel, Craig Gierl) He runs with the realism of a pack a day smoker, and his lines, although minimal, breath truth through this cracked, tragic story, all the while brilliantly keeping the homosexual undertones at arms length. Craig Gierl makes this film work for me and cures me of the ailments only this cruel world can offer.

jaycabrera Way back in 1996, One of the airliner pilots where I used to work gave me a copy of this film. He told me that It'll make me cry. I never believed him and we even made bets. After seeing the film....I cried a bucket! Even after the seeing the film, I found myself in the bathroom crying. It was actually the most touching film I have ever seen. I like the part where Dexter's mom confronted Eric's mother the line went something like... "your sons' best friend just died today..and it's not gonna be easy...if you ever lay your hands on him again...I will kill you!" The last part where Dexter took Eric's shoe was a scene that never left my mind until today. Honestly, just thinking about it makes my eyes teary. A story of what true friendship is all about. My girlfriend loved it too... She hated me for letting her see the film. I cried a bucket, she cried a river.
