The Untold Story

I really can't fathom why this movie was made as it is pure drivel. Someone has obviously been skewing the ratings here on IMDB because no one in their right mind would give this an acceptable rating. I think the effort was there to make this film good but it was a failed attempt. I feel bad for the people involved because the result was such a failure. It came across as a very bad made for TV movie. The acting was mostly very bad, almost like amateur and people just reading their lines in a canned manner. The script was lame to the point of moronic. Given some time I am sure the IMDB score will plummet as more real people vote in. The only redeeming quality I could see in the movie is a feel-good vibe that arises from a down-on-his-luck actor who remains a kind person despite his personal setbacks. But this message is just not enough to justify the movie.

I hit on this movie quite by accident, seldom seeing the younger Van Dyke in any movies, just mainly television. The plot is a good one; the acting is also well done with great individuality of all characters. The setting clearly key to the story. How many people? Men and women alike? Have experienced a life ephinany in more ways than just one like this man? I'll wager far more than most of us realize...

I thought the sequencing was very good and the feelings of each character easy to identify if not see clearly as integral to the plot.

It's nice, for a truly REFRESHING change to just see a GOOD human drama without too many "bells & whistles" BUT "played as it lays" depicting much of REALITY of human life on this planet.

Kudos to the writer and screenwriter who developed this into a worthy interesting for all movie with a whole lot of life lessons without too much angst and no violence per se...Geez, you'd think "Hollywood" would "get" by now? Most of us are tired of the all too boring, oversexed movies that have no plot and are merely violent for the sake of violence and a real drag leaving the viewing audience "emptier" than when they tuned in.

This movie lets you walk away satisfied with solutionS to life's very real dramas!!!

A sweet film with very likeable characters. Obviously cheaply shot but this is not really a drawback. I enjoyed the movie not earth shattering but an easy watch.

This movie was amazing. Nasim Pedram's performance was one for the ages. Hollywood need to to recognize her talent in acting and cast her more often.

I was pleasantly surprised by The Untold Story. Stumbled on it and didn't really expect much initially but was drawn into the story of an older man who hit hard times but remained kind while looking for a way to dig himself out of that hole. Is this Oscar material? Of course not but I have seen much worse. The acting is good and the script and direction okay.
