You Gotta Believe

It's more for older kids and adults with heavy and undeniably inspirational moments. It's about believing in something and allowing it to help carry you through something impossible. The Kelley's were a force every time they were on screen. "Robert" was endearing and honest. "Peanut" was light hearted and balanced the scenes without being too much. The boys had a sweet relationship with each other that felt very real. Luke Wilson portrayed the father as reserved and hands on without being overbearing. Very salt of the earth. The boys individually who played the ball players held their own well. They were very believable in their efforts to support and be there for the Ratliff boys at their young ages. Nothing felt frilly or dishonest. The jokes the players had on the team were cute without feeling out of place. The way the story approached life's hardest realities was refreshing and didn't overreach for what a child's reaction or understanding would be. They let there be so much room for emotions. It was raw and beautiful.
