I really loved watching Searching For Bobby Fischer! Not only was it a great movie but had two of my favorite actors in it, Max Pomeranc and Joe Mantegna. Max Pomeranc and Joe Mantegna looked liked they really enjoyed making Searching For Bobby Fischer. Their chemistry was so amazing! I have left some images, links, and ebay auctions for Searching For Bobby Fischer below.
Steve Zaillian, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Schindler's List, made his directorial debut with this critically acclaimed but little-seen drama based on the nonfiction book by Fred Waitzkin, about a father (Joe Mantegna) who discovers that his seven-year-old son (Max Pomeranc) is a genius at playing chess. The boy plays chess for fun, but when he's tutored by a former champion (Ben Kingsley) and entered into high-pressure competitions, an enjoyable pastime becomes a source of tension and resentment, forcing the father to reconsider his parental priorities. A poignant study of the difference between parental idealism and proper parenting, the movie is also an observantly witty portrait of a precocious child who is still, after all, a child, and still eager for the joyful discoveries of youth. While offering a fascinating look into the world of competitive chess, the movie's dramatically engrossing and extremely well-acted by a brilliant cast that also includes David Paymer, William H. Macy, and Dan Hedaya in memorable supporting roles. --Jeff Shannon
The wonderful cast includes Max Pomeranc, Joe Mantegna, Joan Allen, Ben Kingsley, Laurence Fishburne.
If you are a big fan of Max Pomeranc or Joe Mantegna then you will really want to watch Searching For Bobby Fischer!
