I liked this movie.
I am a fan of movies based on true stories. This was a sad film but that is a part of like. There was some good acting, the young man who played the lead did a great job.
It is a simple story about a young man's life.

roxy349927 June 2023I only watched this because Tom Sizemore is in it.
I loved everything about this movie, the story, the acting, the script writing was brilliantly done.
The main character is being severely abused by his foster family and is being coerced that there is nothing wrong at home. Everytime he went to see his teacher (played by Tom Sizemore) I kept yelling at the tv to get the kid to speak to him about the abuse at home that his foster mother and brother were dumping on him.
I find it really sad that this kid is living in a broken home where he doesn't belong. It made me so happy that he got out of there and was rescued by the department of family services and his teacher.
Well done to everyone that made this movie. A very touching tale on what the broken Foster Care System looks like in America. -
Tina_jeppesen6 September 2020I accidentally came across this on tv never heard about Steve Pemberton we watched it was very sad but also very inspiring true story I would be curious to hear reviews from anyone who's read the book (which I want to now) how accurate the movie is.

mindbird2 February 2021This is a great movie any American should be required to see. This movie is almost unbearable to watch. It is even more unbearable to know it is based on a true story. The reality is that the foster parent system in the US is broken and a lot of foster parents are taking children in strictly for the cash, little of which is spent on the children. The "foster parent" in this story is certifiably a sadist, but even the ones who are not are people you likely would not allow to adopt a goldfish if you knew them. That's foster care.
