Pay it forwards seems like a simple statement. Is it a form of altruism or does one expect to receive satisfaction if not a direct results from pay it forward? Some people would give the movie stars for the idea without looking at the execution. Others may detract stars because of the primes, calling it a chick flick or some other...name.
In execution some see it accomplishing the purpose. While others say that the kid expected a payback, but just did not call it that. It stats off slow and formula. You can second-guess most of the first part of this film with all the stereotypes and clichés. Then it picks up speed and has unique twists, and unexpected reactions.

The ending scenes (which you will never hear from my lips) seem to polarize people further. Some people may go off on some religious tangent while others see that there was no other way to complete the movie. All agree that it is a tear jerkier. I purposely evaded describing any of the scenes as this movie only works if you do not anticipate it. I would recommend watching it once. However I am not sure it is worth collecting.

　例えば、小さな親切をあなたが他人にしたとしよう、たいていの人間はそれに見返りを求めてしまう。しかし、この主人公の少年はこの良いことを他の人に回せというのだ。そうすることによって、世界中に親切が広がって、世界中に平和と幸せを届けることができるのだ。

　一体過去に誰がこんなことを思いついただろうか、人間が生まれて、何十億年が経つが、誰もが自分の利益のために人に親切にしてきた。しかし、今このビデオによりきっと世界は変わろうとしている。
　このビデオを見て、少年の無邪気な案が世界を変えていく瞬間を見て欲しい。
