    Great film.

    I only watched this because Tom Sizemore is in it.

    I loved everything about this movie, the story, the acting, the script writing was brilliantly done.

    The main character is being severely abused by his foster family and is being coerced that there is nothing wrong at home. Everytime he went to see his teacher (played by Tom Sizemore) I kept yelling at the tv to get the kid to speak to him about the abuse at home that his foster mother and brother were dumping on him.

    I find it really sad that this kid is living in a broken home where he doesn't belong. It made me so happy that he got out of there and was rescued by the department of family services and his teacher.

    Well done to everyone that made this movie. A very touching tale on what the broken Foster Care System looks like in America.

    Great

    I accidentally came across this on tv never heard about Steve Pemberton we watched it was very sad but also very inspiring true story I would be curious to hear reviews from anyone who's read the book (which I want to now) how accurate the movie is.

    I liked it.

    I liked this movie. I am a fan of movies based on true stories. This was a sad film but that is a part of like. There was some good acting, the young man who played the lead did a great job. It is a simple story about a young man's life.
