      j j Another example of how the professional critics seem to be out of touch—they don't like it, but 90% of regular people do. I agree with the regular people on this movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I nearly didn't watch it because of critics score but I'm so glad I went with the viewers score instead. The movie had me engaged right from the beginning and I enjoyed it right through to the end. Although a little predictable at the end of didn't detract from the journey. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/18 Full Review jason s Very emotional film, one of the best I have seen for a while. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member So B. It is one of the best book-to-film adaptations I have seen. Sticking to the plot almost perfectly, the portrayals of the characters were convincing, down to the child best friend who had only a few lines. I was disappointed to see that the disabled characters did not get more screen time, but the story did not shy away from unpleasant topics. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed this movie. It shows you don't have to be related to be a family and care about each other. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Can't believe the rotten tomato rating! 40% rotten tomatoes and 95% audience votes! Do the audience votes even get taken into consideration? The actors in this movie were all very talented and I quite enjoyed the movie. I almost didn't watch it because of the rating but I'm glad I did! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Stephen Farber Hollywood Reporter The plot of So B. It isn't always easy to swallow, but the depth of emotion generated by the actors helps to compensate. Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Susan Wloszczyna Washington Post The filmmakers seem to have forgotten that even the most serious of kid-friendly films can benefit from an injection of fun while attempting to jerk tears. Rated: 2/4 Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The strong cast, including John Heard, Dash Mihok, Jacinda Barrett and Cloris Leachman, sells the warm, at times cloying material with earnest conviction. Oct 9, 2017 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens For most moviegoers this will be your first chance to see one of the most talented young actresses of the next generation as [Talitha] Bateman carries the weight of this film on her very capable shoulders. Nov 3, 2019 Full Review Sean P. Means Salt Lake Tribune ... shifts unsteadily from preposterous to heartbreaking without feeling authentic at any moment. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue The scattered episodes of character-driven charm become lost amid the accumulating afflictions and strained attempts to yank at the heartstrings.
