Tyson's Run

This movie had me crying honestly. I don't get why so many people are hating on it. As an autistic person myself I related to a lot of things the main character had experienced in the movie. The race makes me think of a metaphor that goes along the lines of "do things and your pace" or "don't rush yourself to catch up with everyone else." I love how they have accurate Autism Representation in this movie. I have a boyfriend that acts almost exactly like the main character and he is autistic himself. The whole movie had me so emotional and so invested. I can't understand why others are calling the acting bad. The acting almost felt entirely real. I would definitely recommend watching especially if you struggle with autism yourself.

The writers/director of this movie know little about autism or even marathon running. Poor writing and acting overall. The acting is wooden-sometimes I found myself laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of the dialogue. Autism is complex and this movie unfortunately portrays autism in a stereotypical fashion. The concept of the movie is fantastic-the makers could have done so much more with the challenges of running a marathon coupled with the realistic challenges of someone on the spectrum. Good intentions don't come remotely close to saving this movie.

I enjoyed watching Tyson's Run. It is one of those feel good type of movies that is based on a true story and will inspire many. I love the message of faith and courage. I loved that Tyson is the unlikely hero of the movie. It was beautiful how a few people who refused to judge him and helped him gain confidence, be accepted and have the determination to not quit. His story is so heartwarming that so many of us can relate to and so many others can learn from.

I am giving Tyson's Run four and a half stars. I recommend it for families who are looking for a way to spend a family movie night. Wonderful story to watch over and over.

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.
