Blind side meets Twilight meets Pursuit of Happiness. Even with severe ADHD, the story lines lacked true organic mesh. Everything about this movie felt forced as if the feel good story confused the writers. The acting came across as if it were a horrible adlib SNL skit.

It seems like there's a good story hidden within the mediocre filmmaking and forced-feeling performances that drown this movie. There were some good moments and scenes. I finished watching it. So at least I didn't feel like giving up on it.

There's an element of magic here, and it's safe to say that a certain degree of disbelief needs to be suspended, but even children may suffer to get much out of this foreign signing.

There's scarcely a moment that doesn't feel hackneyed; at its best, it's like Friday Night Lights (movie or series) drained of everything remotely distinctive.

Rated: 1.5/5
