The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

NO SPOILERS This has got to be the most powerful Disney movie out there! It had me crying. I loved the novel and was kind of excited when they made it into a movie. The whole cast was strong and played very effective performances. I miss this Disney Channel. Now they are piling movies in like the dreadful High School Musical, or Jump In. All that is just feel good, predictable crap. This movie doesn't air enough anymore. It is literally one of the best movies ever, not just for TV, movies in general.Now my ratings: Story 10/10- The story is just powerful. A girl named Tru hates her life because she has an over working father, a mother who never takes her side, and a mentally challenged brother. So she enters a video contest that may change her life forever. The relationships are so moving and everyone can relate I think.Acting 10/10- Wonderful performances by all actors. Shia LaBeouf took on Eddie perfectly. He actually seems like he is mentally challenged. Clara Bryant was a perfect Tru and I thought some people could relate to her in at least one way. She is a girl of substance going through a rough patch in her life.Emotion 10/10- Every part had me crying. Literally. And I don't cry a lot during movies. Well this movie had so much power! And it is impossible to hate it! 10/10. Watch this. Leave HSM and JI to die in the cold. This movie was powerful.

It was late at night when I was surfing channels and caught this movie. Beforehand, I had never much paid attention to Shia Labeouf, only having seen him on Even Stevens, a show I didn't even regularly watch....However, my opinion of him immediately changed after seeing this film. Shia carries the entire movie. I had never seen someone play an autistic so convincingly; and this coming from someone who has two autistic cousins of her own.It's heart-wrenching, what just enough humor and angst. It has a wonderful story, and is also very realistic. Oftentimes in the past, when I'd hang out with my autistic cousin/cousins, I'd find myself feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed to be around them. But, like Trudy Walker, I managed to get past these feelings, after seeing how much fun my cousins can be, despite their disabilities.This has got to be one of the most underrated movies of all time. Shia is a great actor, and I hope to see him in more serious roles like this one.

Tru Confessions is the best Disney Channel movie yet, and they could never top this one. The element that gives the movie it's heart is that it gives you an inside look at mentally challenged person. They are no different than everyone else in the world, and some people don't realize that today. They treat them like garbage, which they are most definitely not. If you watch this movie, it will change your idea of looking at mentally challenged citizens and being scared. This is the best Disney film ever made not only because it delivers a message, but also because it has a heart. This is truly a masterpiece, and it is worth watching.
