El Milagro De Tyson

The previews honestly played this out to be like it would be a big hit, but it fell short. The script is very robotic as if it were a high school musical, but without the music. I understand the character has autism, however, the rest of the script is simple, one or two worded lines, and honestly I was struggling to stay awake.

It's a good story because it's true, but in a few weeks, I'll probably forget I even saw this movie, not to mention wanting to rewatch it at a later point in time.

PROS

+ Excellent actors (except Eleanor who was made to overact in this movie).

+ Good example of a coach who does not put career over family, but takes a break when he is most needed.

+ Adequate display of some of the problems at (American) schools.

+ Wonderful display against racism, against discrimination based on news articles and for the acceptance of ASD.

CONS

• Some unrealistic scenarios. We e.g. Do not know how Tyson ended up in a lake or why he had his knee bleeding before and during the race.

• Eleanor does not find healing in this movie from her outbursts of anger.

• 2 half-naked scenes.

• The scene in the epilogue is meant to be funny, but it displays vengeance, and reveals one problem of the movie, the lacking reconciliation between both parties.

An inspiring movie to have determination & faith to reach your goal. However, the script is poorly done, the directing is amateur & the acting is so awkward.

It seems like a low budget movie with so-so actors.

No pun intended - also not (Forest) Gump was hurt in the making of my summary headline. And I do not mean to offend anyone. There are illnesses that some feel are off limits when it comes to jokes. I do not mean to demean anyone - just having a bit of little fun ... and the movie that is based on real life (happenings) is really uplifting.

There may not be too many surprises story wise (or character wise, once everyone is introduced to you the viewer), but it is quite nice to watch it. Acting is at least decent. It may be weird for some people to see Amy Smart in a more mature (mother) role - but you'll get over it. She delivers for sure - as does everyone else. Uplifting for sure.

Not sure why there's some haters out there.. this is a lovey film. It pushes all the right character / story buttons. The acting is good, it's nice to see the familiar faces and some new ones.
