Unsung Hero

An Australian music promoter goes belly up after investing in a massive tour. With all possibilities exhausted, he moves his family to Nashville, hoping to start over. With the support of his wife and kids, they get to work surviving in their new home. Doing what he does best, he invests in his daughter and sets out to make her dream of a music career a reality.

This is the true story of how the Smallbones migrated from Australia to America and achieved their dreams of becoming musical sensations. The movie is heavy on Christianity and religion, but the hero is dependent on the viewer. The movie shifts its focus from religion to family, struggle, and the music industry. This movie is definitely for the Christian fan base, but anyone can enjoy it.

I'm not one to cry in movies but I cried like a baby in this film. For King & Country is one of my favorite bands and they have talked so much about their story during their concerts but to see their story brought to life on the big screen is so inspiring. The hardship they went through after moving to the states was so sad. Joel Smallbone (for King & Country's frontman) co-directed and starred in the film. He is a good actor. It is truly amazing to see that no matter what was thrown at the family, nothing was able to separate them. I don't want to write much more without spoiling the film but I highly recommend the film. It's an incredible story of success, hardship but more importantly how despite all the challenges their faith stood strong and didn't deteriorate due the challenges they faced.

I loved it. This is a powerful film about family, faith, and miracles. It made me laugh and cry. This movie is a perfect example on how we should be leading our familys. Not only that, but to teach children what it means to stay together as a family, and to pray as a family no Matter the circumstances. They did a wonderful job with this film. It's a wonderful story about one famly's journey from Australia to the U. S. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. You won't regret it. It is kid friendly. If you like movies with family, faith, miracles, and music, then this movie is for you.

I want to see this again!! Being on vacation this week my wife and I were lucky enough to be able to go see this on a special preview night. It even had some extra content before the movie started by for King & Country and an animated short. Not sure if those will be included on the wide release. I only saw the trailer once before I went to see the movie and only knowing it involved the for King & Country family because my wife told me. Was so surprised to learn that one of my favorite Christian artist was part of the Smallbone family! Their older sister is Rebecca St. James! I never knew of that connection and have been a fan of hers for years! That was a pleasant surprise. I really did enjoy this movie and laughed and I even noticed I got watery eyes a few times. I think the watery eyes were due to the cool air blowing into my face during the movie. My wife assured me that was not the case because the air wasn't even on. Oh? Definitely a movie to go see with family and friends and if I am fortunate enough to see it again I'm taking someone with us!

Giving this a 7/ 10

Out today is is this rather good true life tale of what can happen when you throw your life into leaving your home country and moving else where. And it's not easy, it's hard as anything.

An music promoter is not having any luck in his home country and decides to move out, chance everything, on a new life in another country, America. The results are not for those thinking of moving and chancing your life, it's hell, and I am amazed at the ending of all this, as it does make this film worth a watch, even if it can be very cheesy at times, writers and directors Richard L. Ramsey and Joel Smallbone, spare us nothing on the suffering that the family goes through, and really stick to their hopes and dreams, which uplift this film, making you want to watch this until the very end, well, I did.

Daisy Bets is the actor who keeps the film watchable, as does Joel Smallbone, both carry this film and are just perfect. Kirrilee berger is captivating and you care for world view. This film is a strange one, for a summer film, but it shows what can come out in this period and be a sit down and watch. Watch all the trailers before you go on this one, before you go.
