Plot summary
"Found" is the story of an innocent teenage boy raised up in the Appalachian Mountains on a small old fashioned homestead devoid of modern conveniences and tucked away from the broader culture at large. Through a sudden tragedy, he suddenly finds himself cast out, alone and adrift into our high-speed, hi-tech modern world until he meets a troubled family who takes him into their home for better or for worse. What he learns about himself and what others around him discover about themselves brings new meaning to the phrase "testing your faith" (James 1:2-4).

Movie Reviews
Good story but bad acting
Feel-Good Nostalgia
This movie is not going to win any Oscars, but after watching it, I realized that it reminded me of movies from 20 - 30 years back: no swearing, no gratuitous violence and no socio-political innuendos. How refreshing!
It portrays an average family with the normal amount of parent-children joys and tribulations. Nobody's perfect, but at the end of the day we are spared the negativity and cynicism that is so pervasive of most current tv productions.
The actors were all completely new to me, which is fine, since the acting was for the most part good. The characters were also mostly likeable and even charming.
The script is formulaic and at times predictable and contains quite a few rather unconvincing twists and turns, but to me they were forgivable. This is after all relaxed, mindless - and above all - feel-good entertainment for the whole family.
To me the whole point of watching movies is to be entertained and in this respect Found succeeded admirably.
