Miracle at Manchester

Great family movie, and an incredible story. The title kind of lets you know the ending, but you are still rooting for Brycen Newman and his family. The performances that really stand out are Eddie McClintock, Daniel Roebuck and Kathy Patterson. The movie starts off in different directions, but it all ties up nice halfway thru.

What I enjoyed was googling Brycen Newman's name and finding out the story is true and there is more depth to it. The kid now has a foundation helping other children fighting cancer, kudos to him for paying it forward. I recommend that others look at what he is doing!.

This was a powerful story of overcoming cancer. Get a box of tissues because there are some emotional moments in this film. Overall, this movie exceeded my expectations. If you are a believer, this movie will reinforce the power of prayer and healing. My wife in a devout Muslim and high school teacher, and she really enjoyed watching the positive message for students. The acting was very realistic and the emotions were sincere and genuine. I would recommend this movie for anyone who needs some encouragement in their lives. When you think there is no hope, positivity and prayer can make the difference between life and death.

I was just blown away by how inspiring this movie is, so much so my wife and I have watched the movie 3 times already and we still cry in the same scenes in the movie even though we know what is coming. To me, that just shows how great a movie this truly is.

It shows how much a community can make a difference in a child's life. I would recommend this to anyone of faith and family, it is without a doubt a must watch movie. To think that Brycen's high school and its community came together to help save this young man's life is just amazing.

I thought Daniel Roebuck and Kathy Peterson "Ed & Marilyn Hanson" did a wonderful job as husband and wife and kept a very difficult subject light hearted which allowed you to laugh after you just finished wiping the tears away. Other great performances were Eddie McClintock "Rick Newman," Brennan Hunt "Alex," Nick Avila "Miles Himmel," they all did a fantastic job. The only critique would be Kory Gettman "Brycen Newman" some of his acting was way over the top, and I wish there were more scenes with Dean Cain "Dr. Getty" in them. The woman ER doctor Christin Jezak "Dr. Sam," sure did make you want to punch her, so she did a great job if that is how the role was written.

I did check and this is a true story, you can google Brycen Newman and brain cancer and see all the news articles and news video clips to see what really happened and it looks like the movie really captured what this poor young man actually went through. I can't even begin to understand what Brycen's parents went through, but through their faith and the faith of Brycen's high school community it was a story book ending.

I couldn't disagree with the other user review more regarding the incorporation of Rachel Platten's "Fight song" at the end of the movie. I have 3 relatives that have dealt with cancer and they have all said that this song is what fighting cancer is all about. Kudo's to the producer for using it at the end when Brycen was healed. As my sister Julie says, taking back your life from cancer is all you want to do, because cancer takes so much of your life in the first place.

This is a 10 out of 10 rating for me, I wish there were more movies like this. I have recommended it to my kids and friends, I recommend you watch it also!

If you believe in Faith and Family you definitely need to watch this movie, and it doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman bring some tissues, this is one of those movies that hits you right in the heart!

On a side note, I would like to buy that Mustang! What a show stopper!

I've watched this twice and recommend it! The story may have been unbelievable except it's true. Get ready for goosebumps and a grab your hankie scene!

The photography is lovely, and the actors who portray the real people who lived this do a superb job.

I know many churches, youth groups and families would enjoy watching this on movie night and to inspire discussion about faith and how God works. There is some Catholicism but that doesn't mean all Christians can't relate, in fact I appreciated knowing that we all share doubts, fears and that when we pull together our faith fan grow.

I also recommend googling the foundation started by the real life young man who wanted to reach other kids living with cancer. Recommended.

Very nice story. Horrible acting, barely any emotion unless it was from the father or older actors. Main protagonist doesn't look like a teen and the transitioning between scenes was very odd. One moment he's in the hospital and the next hour they're going to operate without the dads permission? In what world does that happen. No attention to detail. But the dialogue, the dialogue is a real kicker... it is terrible. Movie is all of over the place. Had a lot of potential but with a low budget I guess there is not much to expect. The real story is very inspiring and this movie falls short of that.
