I watched this movie in Spanish and the voice actors did a decent job at potraying the actors, but for Tyson sometimes he sounded robotic and with a few microphone 'pops', i don't think this how the original movie sounded.
Overall i was hooked from start to finish and invested in Tyson's journey.
Story:
It's decent and is focused on a young teenager; Tyson which has autism and decides that would like to go to a normal school instead of being home schooled by his mother, there he meets people who are understanding of his condition; students and teachers.
Most importantly he makes a new friend who sparks in Tyson a passion for marathon running.
Acting:
The acting is decent, ok... but there are times where they don't act very good and the person i noticed of doing this the more was Tyson's father; he's too serious and i never saw him smile in situations where he should've, everyone else was fine in my opinion.
Script:
Good but oftentimes it lead to characters overreacting, you can see that in Tyson's mother where she often seems unreasonable with her husband over very important points.
Sound / Visuals:
The visuals are cristal clear, specially in the school but there are no outstanding shots, soundwise nothing remarkable either since not a lot is going on; either characters talk or there is some kind of montage.
Plot summary

Decent family movie
Sweet little movie
I liked it. It's the kind of movie to watch when you want to be reminded of the good in the world. Yes it's a bit simplistic, yes it's not a multi million budget or A+ actors, but it's sweet and it makes you feel good and what's wrong with that???
I laugh at the reviewers saying the kid didn't portray autism well. First off Autism is a spectrum and people at one end of the sprectrum are nothing like those at the other end, and then you have all those inbetween. Secondly, the kid who plays Tyson is actually on the spectrum so he probably knows a bit better than you.
So yeah, if you're looking for a movie thats gonna blow you away and have you talking about it for weeks, this probably ain't it. But if you just want to pass some time, cheer for a hero and feel good when you turn off the tv give it a shot.
