It's been awhile since I've watched a film that touched me the way this has. The actors are brilliant and the storyline is gripping. I give it a 10/10! It's a must watch.
I enjoyed the film and am a bit surprised at the low review. I thought the acting was done well, a little over the top at times, but didn't distract from the film. Really great, heart warming story...I def teared up a couple times. I would recommend for an entertaining netflix kinda night.
Sure it's a bit formulaic but that didn't effect how engaging and absorbing it is . If you like movies like this it not , it certainly delivers and without cringe or eye rolling . The cast fits beautifully and the story itself is inspiring and captivating . I was all there for it and I am here for it still !
Found this movie on Amazon Prime, remembered seeing the trailer a while back and figured I'd give a chance. Glad I did! It's was good, I enjoyed it a lot, it had moments where I laughed, smiled, and even got emotional. It's a good movie to watch atleast once. I recommend it if you haven't come across it yet.
Enjoyed it a lot, interesting to see John's story & I was impressed by Ludacris - it probably could of benefitted a lot from a bit more budget but they worked well with what they had to still provide some good BMX action

You think changing his adoptive mom to a black woman would make a realistic story, even though, it's a true story & his adoptive mom was white - some people...
