The Unbreakable Boy | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The Unbreakable Boy was a bit of a mixed bag. Some aspects, particularly the family dynamic as they worked through various hardships, were done well, but others felt almost exploitative.

Especially at a moment like this, The Unbreakable Boy would’ve been better off left on Lionsgate’s servers.

The story also shows, with plodding deliberation, Scott’s descent into alcoholism — and it feels like the filmmakers have pulled a bait-and-switch on the audience, promising a unique inspirational story and delivering a much more mundane one.

It felt so toothless... Anything that doesn't serve [the father's story] gets underwritten and underplayed, to the detriment of the film.
