I found this almost impossible to watch at the start. So sad and depressing that I actually gave up on it. I actually felt angry that such a movie had been made. Only after seeing so many good reviews that I decided to try again.
I'm happy that I did. The acting by Branden Nadon as Nathan is unforgettable.
I've given it 9 out of 10. A truly great movie.

It's a good movie. It's about a boy who sells himself for money. And then his mom dies and he has no dad, so he has no where to go. While in a diner he mats Boon. It's sad because in one scene he says "I just want to be a good kid" and you feel sad for him. He dosen't want Boon too leave him all alone.Branden Nadon plays Nathan,the main character. It's also good because it's canadian.
A very flawed film with more plot holes than a cheese grater. It is a fairy tale for abused children dressed up as gritty realism. It has a daft storyline and an over-the-top ending that only lacked an appearance from Santa Claus to make it complete.
Its failure to represent reality, considering the seriousness of the story line, was getting on my nerves. But the completed movie is greater than the sum of its parts. The acting, particularly of Nathan the abused boy, is very good and regardless of everything that is wrong with the film, I couldn't help but become involved in the action and emotionally invested in the outcome.
I watched this like two weeks ago and completely forgot to review it so my thoughts and opinions aren't very fresh but I'll try my best. I liked this movie. I'm always a sucker for the kid plot line with sex work or drugs especially if there's gay involved. I thought this was really interesting and the ending was cute. The acting was a little meh but that's forgivable. It was exactly what I was looking for to watch while procrastinating on my homework.
I was bored and wanted to watch a movie, Jet Boy was the only movie starting at that moment so I started to watch it. The beginning hooked me right away, I wanted to know what would happen to this young boy who was selling himself on his twelfth birthday. This movie hooked me and it kept me hooked all the way through. A lot of neat things happened :)

- BlooperWhen Boon arrives at the diner, he parks his car near it (right under the 'Restaurant'sign at the back of the shot), however the shot after the phone call reveals the car parked much nearer to the camera and in a different orientation.
