Cameron Boyce's last film is full of teen angst and the need to find your place in the world.

Rated: 6/10

Cinemalogue

This earnest plea for tolerance covers familiar ground, offsetting its heartfelt intentions with a series of contrivances and exaggerations that creates a sense of emotional detachment.

The star commands the screen with authenticity and depth, slowly transforming as Cal becomes a shell of his former self with each violent act.

Rated: 3/5

Cameron Boyce does a good job and the topics are important, but the story does have the right amount of gravity.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Runt is woefully misjudged and crass in its execution, something audiences should avoid.

Cameron Boyce gives a surprising mature performance, even if he was not seasoned enough for an intense drama. Yet he was heads above the rest as this movie was terribly cast. I did not believe anyone in there role but Cameron. The acting was truly bad. The story was a good idea, very unusual for teen flicks, and something kept me watching and interested. Yet the last half fell apart by being confusing. The ending tried to be edgy but no it was just offensive. None of it ended up making sense. A dedication to Cameron after the movie tries to say Cameron Boyce was against violence. Why did they need to say that? Did they see the movie? Cameron tries to murder his classmate with a gun. That did not make sense either. My nephew grew up watching Jessie and we watched this together. A lame tacky movie. Real shame this was his only leading role. RIP Cameron they did you dirty.

A well meaning ambitious drama and cautionary tale that is clouded from odd out-of place dialogue.. Runt has it's moments from the talented cast but underdeveloped script direction hinder the film from flourishing.

Runt (rental) is a quasi-parable about the escalating nature of violence, but an undercooked screenplay leaves it feeling like a malformed after school special. Camron Boyce shows real talent and it is a shame that this is his last film (he died form complications of epilepsy shortly after the film was made.)

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

So many played-out first-project indie film tropes in one movie--nobody should have let Disney Channel cutie Cameron Boyce attempt something requiring authentic emotional depth. It's surprisingly not the first writing effort of Christian van Gregg--whose only other credit is the similarly horribly-rated "Septem8er Tapes" over 15 years ago. Redeeming qualities include the dog, a guest appearance of Marie Antoinette as Cal's mom, and the music/score (which is of noticeably higher quality/production value than most truly indie films).

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

The lead is far too lightweight and amateurish to carry this film.
