KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA)

Director/writer Kim Bass has put together a script that goes beyond how an underdog can find the courage to succeed and takes it to such an unbelievable level that the film suffers.

Rated: 2.5/4

Tyson's Run is a feel-good film and that's exactly what it's meant to be.

Ultimately Tyson's Run has enough heart and an uplifting story "inspired by a real boy" to balance out and offer a film that may speak especially to those with friends or family members on the spectrum.

Rated: 3/5

Tysons Run has no subtlety, but that isnt the problem. Its sadly without storytelling precision, too.

Culture Mix

The sappy and subpar melodrama Tyson's Run is built on the faulty and ludicrous concept that a 15-year-old would be allowed to compete against adults in a U.S. city's 26-mile marathon. It all goes downhill from there.
