I love watching movies, and this is the first movie that made me cry a LOT (even experienced hyperventilation during some of the really heavy scenes). South Korea is know for their artistic and heavy film making, whatever the genre is, and this film is no exception. Story line is simple; even a child can understand what's going on. We see a goofy and loving father and his Adorable daughter; Rich couple and their innocent daughter taken suddenly by an accident; High official taken by grief due to the loss of a beloved; and a lot of inmates who all have their own special characters to the story. It's the remarkable love between a father and daughter that makes it so simple yet brilliant. First class acting, superb casting, a little bit of comedy. Some scenes are a little too much of a cliché, but who cares? The film totally delivered!

This is perfect for the upcoming Father's Day. The story is about the love of the daughter to her mentally challenged father. This is what we call the unconditional love. The movie will let you laugh, cry and realize the reality in our society. Imprisonment and sentencing death to innocent man is very common especially those who are poor and who cannot afford are the main victims of these. Heart melting and tear dropping movie. Two thumbs up for the good actors (especially to Mr.Ryu Seung-Ryong and Ms. Kal So-won, producers and the director.

This film will make you laugh. This film will make you cry. Miracle in cell no.7 is a heart-warming story about the relationship between a 6-year old girl and her mentally challenged father whose accused and convicted of a crime he didn't commit. The characters look eccentric yet enchanting thanks to their mesmerizing performance. An immensely satisfying family drama that will leave most of its viewers with a smile on their face & tears in their eyes.

How are movies rated? By way of cinematography? By how the characters act? By how wonderful the CGI are? By how real the movie is? Or by how much the producer spent in the movie? I do not really care for all of the above.. For me, I rate a movie 10 if I felt the desire to watch it again after a week. If I selflessly share it with others or brag about how good it was or feel proud when I hear somebody else praise it..Those are my parameters. I wouldn't have mind if you didn't care how a rated this movie or how I reviewed it if I only wanted it for myself. But I really wanted others to watch it. Watch it especially with their daughter if they have one. I promise you, this movie will make you laugh so hard but in the end it will make you cry so much..One thing good about movies is, they can make make you laugh and you'll love them, they can make you cry but you'll still love them nonetheless:-) This movie is all about that. I advise you .. DON'T JUST WATCH IT!.. WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN...

Miracle in cell no.7, one of the highest grossing movie in Korea, is one of the best family drama I have seen in ages. The mentally ill father and the intelligent daughter reminded me of I am Sam, but I liked Seung-yong Ryoo's acting than Sean Penn's. The movie's plot and story are great and the story inside the prison also grabbed my attention and I loved the way the comedy has been blended with the emotions in the movie. I laughed my a** off for a moment, the other moment tears rolled out of my eyes. The movie's end is a great tearjerker and will force one to cry. I don't just recommend one to have tissues to wipe their tears but also a friend to have a shoulder to cry on. Story: 9 Acting:10 Emotions:10 Comedy:9 Overall:10 A must watch for all people.

Rarely will you see a movie that shakes your soul to the core and this movie manages to do that. For a long time I remained adamant that I will never experience another movie as lachrymose as The Green Mile but I was wrong. My tears just would not stop. The father daughter relationship in this movie is simply beautiful, in some ways ineffable. You have got to watch this movie in order to understand how pure, innocent and affectionate their bond is. Their acting was incredible. The child in particularly was extremely convincing and deserves praise for expressing believable emotions at such a young age. Some might criticise the movie for a few illogical/unrealistic events but I can assure you that this does not diminish the greatness of this movie. What matters in this movie is character development and character interaction which are executed flawlessly. The supporting cast also do an excellent job. Hope, justice, mercy, innocence, sacrifice and affection are some of the themes that are explored in this harrowing and satisfying movie. This movie is right up there with The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile for great prison movies. Please...please do not miss this one.

These emotional movies that seem to hit the core of the heart seems to be making hits these days. It might start to become a trend or maybe it already has. It's a good movie but nothing amazing to the point I am not shocked why it was such a big hit in Korea or anything like that. It just didn't grab me emotionally all that much most of the way through. And some parts seemed just too far-fetched or a bit ridiculous. But I guess it had to go in that direction in order to make this story work. The bonding elements just seemed a bit rushed and forced at times and just didn't have that well incorporated flow. The whole bonding with the inmates has been done before but better and when it comes the relationship between the father and daughter. It reminded me of the film "I am Sam" which is a better bond between a mentally handicapped father and daughter movie. The relationship between the inmates and the mentally handicapped father and daughter relationship is done alright to build up for the end. And the main selling point is the near the end part, which actually got me despite the mediocre build up. 6.7/10
