First Thoughts - This movie is the definition of sweet and heartfelt. Kingdom Story Company once again managed to toe the line between impactful and cheesy, and it created a solid film.

I feel as though every member of the cast are actually trying in their roles, particularly Zachary Levi, Meghann Fahy, and newcomer Jacob Laval as the titular character Auzman. Levi, in particular, as Austin's father Scott, gives a fully fleshed out performance, portraying someone who consistently feels as though he is drowning, without realizing that he is the one doing so with the bottle. Given Levi's well-documented struggles with mental health, his inspiring journey to becoming mentally well, and his work to better others struggling with mental health issues, it truly feels as though he means and feels every word of the script he is speaking. It's as though he has thought every thought and said every word to himself at some point, and yet he still came out the other side. Fahy also gives a solid performance as Teresa, Auzman's mom and Scott's wife. She has quickly shown herself this year to be a really talented actress, specifically in roles that require a lot of emotional bandwidth. Lastly, Laval, as Austin, the star of the show, completely disappeared into this role. If I hadn't known any better, I would have thought that they had cast the actual real-life Austin. His performance has a naturally vibrant energy running through it, and it comes across as totally natural.

Does the story go through some familiar beats of the genre? Sure it does. Is it even somewhat predictable? I would say probably for most people.

At the end of the day, does that really matter? I don't think so.

This is a well-made, good-looking movie that tackles some very hard themes in a gentle but accurate way. There is a reason why nearly every production made by Kingdom Story Company ends up being an unprecedented success, and that's because they're good storytellers and are willing to put in the time, money, and effort to make good films.

Overall, this is a solid movie that the whole family can enjoy, and should.

I know a guy, probably one the sweetest people you'll ever meet, dealing with a special needs child. He loves his son more than anything and will do anything for him to make life a little easier. I read the reviews and I can't help to wonder how many people here have ever actually met someone with Autism. Because unless you have, there's no possible way you'd understand this film. Perhaps the film was written a little too specifically geared towards people with Autistic children. Still, this guy I know was overwhelmed with emotion because the movie shows the world what parents of Autistic kids deal with daily. It's a constant battle with a society that has very little empathy.

The Unbreakable Boy is a touching family drama based on a true story. The film explores important themes of resilience, illness, and unconditional parental love, yet it fails to fully develop them.

Pros: The story is inspiring, and the protagonist is likable.

Strong performances, particularly from Zachary Levi as the father.

A warm and uplifting atmosphere that highlights the power of family and support.

Cons: The plot is predictable, and the screenplay feels shallow at times.

Lacks depth in character development-despite its potential, the story never reaches its full emotional impact.

Overly sentimental in places, relying on clichés rather than genuine drama.

Overall, The Unbreakable Boy is a decent family drama, but it lacks originality and depth to leave a lasting impression. It's worth a watch but unlikely to stay with you for long.

Movie The Unbreakable Boy directed by Jon Gunn is based on life of Austin (actor Jacob Laval ) his younger brother Logan (actor Gavin Warren) born to Teresa ( Meghann Fahy from the series Perfect Couple)and Scott (actor Zachary Levi). Teresa is blue eyed and has brittle bones ,symptoms of genetic disorder Osteogenesis imperfecta. Austin is born with brittle bones and also dx with Autism Austin loves his mom, dad and younger brother. Austin is capable of understanding and retaining information . Austin's constant banter at home and school is very well directed. His remarks made to Logan after Logan gets into a fight with Tyler have a big impact on family. Really enjoyed the pleasant interactions between father and son and also loving relationship and glances between Austin's mom and dad.

Screenplay is very realistic. Love filled home has a big impact on children's minds and is depicted very well. This movie is supposedly based on a true story of a family from Iowa . I am in awe of both mom and dad who showed love and honesty in a relationship can have healthy outcomes even if medical world and society label developmental delays.

I am glad i saw this movie which has reinforced importance of love in raising children to keep them stable and healthy.

Austin's happy thoughts and words in having his dad at home after dad loses his job and mom not having a job is extremely touching and realistic. There is no company better than a loving mom and dad as friends.

Good Editing. Good Direction. Excellent acting.
