This was one of those movies that people said "you have to see". I agree. It is not flashy. It is not action packed. It is a story of real life. It is fun and engaging - and very well done. Well acted. Well written. Well made.
Go see it - rent it.
I heard one criticism of this movie - I is told primarily from the view point of the family who adopted and encouraged the black protagonist. Yes - and no. It is true that it does not delve deeply into the environment that he came from - there were only brief glimpses there. But I do not think that was the point of the story. There were enough glimpses to know that where he came from was not good - and that he was going to go no where. The story was about how there was a Christian, loving influence that raised him up - despite some over powering odds against.
I personally would give it a - with a pause - a four.
