MPAA RATING: PG-13 for sensuality, sex references and accident scenes
Starring Scott Mechlowicz, Nick Nolte, Amy Smart, Paul Wesley, Ashton Holmes, Agnes Bruckner, B.J. Britt, and Beatrice Rosen
Dan Millman (Mechlowicz) is a talented college gymnast with Olympic dreams. He has it all: trophies, teammates, fast motorcycles, fast girls and wild parties. Then Dan's world is turned upside down when he meets a mysterious stranger he calls Socrates (Nolte), who holds the power to tap into new worlds of strength and understanding. After a serious injury, with the help of Socrates and an elusive young woman named Joy (Smart), Dan discovers that he has much to learn and even more to leave behind before he can become a peaceful warrior and find his destiny. This moving tale about the power of the human spirit is based on Dan Millman's best-selling autobiographical novel, Way of the Peaceful Warrior. (Lionsgate)

I think sometimes we are bored because many people go to get away from thinking at the movies.

Are you guys on crack?!......This is truly a steaming turd. Like an afterschool special only a little goofier.
Kelly M. gave it a2:
This movie was so full of cliches. It was also way too long. Don't waste your time.
Veronica E. gave it an8:
Enjoyable and inspirational. The Peaceful Warrior charged me up. I was relieved that the essence of the book was strong and that its message of transformation could be lively and fun. What a relief that movies can be an event that lifts us to greater perspectives. I noticed that the critics are so in their cyncal marketable heads. But how refreshing it is when we can hold possibility and even revel in it for two hours...so beyond the rush we get from violence and suspicion. Maybe we can create more and better movies that challenge us to experience our own potential.

I usually don't buy into condensed & packaged philosophy but I thought this movie was excellent. I see the critics view - it's predictable, it's a little cliché, perhaps even too simplistic in it's message. But the simple message works. The acting works. The story works. "Take out the trash" by ignoring all the negative critics and judge this movie for yourself. I predict you will be glad you did.
Bita S. gave it a10:
We need more movies like Peaceful Warrior, and far less movies as 300. What are we doing to our society? Where are the responsible filmmakers? How come our society craves more violence than peace? Is there ever an answer to these questions? I believe there is, only if a filmmaker holds himself responsible for feeding good food to the audience.
