Based on a remarkable true story, Unsung Hero follows David Smallbone as he moves his family from Down Under to the States, searching for a brighter future after his successful music company collapses. With nothing more than their seven children, suitcases, and their love of music, David (for KING + COUNTRY's Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives. Helen's faith stands against all odds and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs. With their own dreams on hold, David and Helen begin to realize the musical prowess in their children, who would go on to become two of the most successful acts in Inspirational Music history: five-time GRAMMY Award®-winning artists for KING + COUNTRY and Rebecca St. James.

Feels more like band merch than an insightful family portrait.

For the most part, “Unsung Hero” does what David Smallbone himself didn’t do: It shies away from taking risks.

Rated: 2/4

Is your family what really makes you rich in life? “Unsung Hero” doesn’t really have the answer to that question, but it convincingly argues that making a hit movie about them wouldn’t hurt.

Rated: C+

One Guy's Opinion

This is not a subtle movie, operating with a heavy emotional and religious hand, but it’s an earnest one, and will probably find an enthusiastic audience among evangelical churchgoers. Others should probably not populate the pews.

Rated: C

Film Threat

Unsung Hero is a solid drama that will readily appeal to fans of Rebecca St. James or For King + Country.

Rated: 8/10

Epoch Times

It’s a good bet that longtime followers of contemporary Christian music are already familiar with the inspiring Smallbone family story. They'll be pleased to discover the movie is exactly what it professes to be in the opening credits: “A True Story.”

Rated: 3.5/5
