The story begins with Tru Walker, played by Clara Bryant, speaking about her obsession with her camera. She goes on, and later walks home with her friends. We, then, see at the door, Tru's twin brother, Eddie, played by Shia LaBeouf. We don't understand at first the reason of his behavior, and soon, we realize that Eddie is a mentally challenged boy.
The story deals with how a family cooperates having a mentally challenged child in the family. They have their ups and downs, but all in all, they are a very loving and caring family who will always look out for each other.
At various points in the film, people may seem to think that Tru's really determined to win a TV contest, and to get Billy Meyer (Yani Gellman) to notice her, and she would do anything to get it. But when Billy insults Eddie in the most horrible way, viewers realize that she does not care about if he notices her anymore, because nothing is a stronger bond than a twin brother. If anyone tried to break that, it would be all over for them.
It also makes people wonder about what Eddie, or people like Eddie, are really thinking. When Eddie tells Tru, "I want to be done being different. I want to be the same as everybody else." it make viewers think how he saw the world and how he fit into it.
Shia's performance in Tru Confessions really suprised many viewers. Who knew that Even Stevens' wild child, Louis Stevens, could move on to bigger, and more important acting roles? As said in the commercials, "Shia LaBeouf in his most dramatic role ever". People would never understand that statement until they watch this film.
Rating: 10/10 - Extraordinary. Best Disney Channel Original Movie since "The Color of Friendship".
