Aventuras de un niño genio

I normally am not too into family movies because most of them are cookie cutter and you pretty much know how they're going to end. Boy Genius surprised me because yeah it had some familiar family movie things but this "family" movie had cool fantasy sequences, good acting (especially from the lead), strong directing, and a solid script. I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

Loved this unusually touching and funny movie for all the usual reasons -- great script, superb acting and beautiful, subtle direction. Miles Brown is Emmett, a junior high school prodigy, and Rita Wilson is Mary, a mystery writer, who joins forces with him to exonerate Emmett's brother, under suspicion for a series of thefts. Brown and Wilson are outstanding in their roles and make a truly winning odd couple. A captivating movie of great humor and imagination, whose life lessons and heartfelt moments are handled with a light touch. This one's sure to be a classic.

A twelve year-old child prodigy Emmett (Miles Brown) teams up with a quirky retiree to solve a crime and save his family from splitting up. A 12-year-old child prodigy teams up with a retired eccentric to solve a crime and save his family from falling apart. Very cute, valid and necessary... Direction Bridget Stokes...

Those teenage Disney films, almost childish, and silly, but cute at the same time, exaggerated, the brothers' relationship is very cute, won my heart... see deep-rooted structural racism... Many layers that can be analyzed within varied and dramatic contexts... Very cute, valid and necessary...

This was such a sweet movie. Really well-made and the kind of film you finish feeling really good about the world. Miles Brown is definitely a star-on-the-rise, and great chemistry between him and Rita Wilson. This is the kind of film you could watch with the family and know that everyone will enjoy.

A true delight of a film. Silly, sweet, and moving, with an absolutely exuberant lead performance from Miles Brown. The cast is terrific across-the-board, with especially wonderful turns from Tracie Thoms, Skylan Brooks, Rita Wilson, Nora Dunn, and Ravi Patel (hilarious every moment he was onscreen).
