Summary - Good 3.0

An enjoyable film about a young Catholic School boy who wants to win the Boston Marathon, so that God will bring his cancer stricken mother out of a coma. Ralph (Adam Butcher) struggles to fit in at school, and seems to be left on his own because of his mother’s sickness. He’s fascinated with girls, and spends much of his time….thinking about them, while trying to stay on the good side of the priests who run the school.

The movie has a nice message of hope, and although implausible in parts, is a wonderful feel-good story that was enjoyable to watch.

Acting - Good 3.0

Butcher was wonderful in his role as the scrawny teenager who doesn’t back down.

Film - Good 3.0

Edge - Tame 1.3

A naked backside, and images of Ralph leaning against a running lawnmower and a pool outlet for pleasure. No real swearing.

Reality - Glib 1.5
