Little Boy
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
It's "Unbroken" meets Darth Vader VW commercial when an 8-year-old's close bond with his father and belief that he can move mountains gives him hope that he can end WWII & bring his dad home safely. Being small in stature, Pepper Busbee is bullied and called names like midget, runt, and little boy. An illusionist/comic book character/movie serial hero convinces Pepper that he has magical powers. A priest strengths the boy's faith with a list of tasks to accomplish. The story, funny & whimsical at times, is told through the boy's innocent eyes with a parallel story of Japanese-American intolerance. Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson, & Kevin James play smaller parts with the kid and his old brother in the major roles. This is a wonderfully touching movie brought to you by the team of Roma Downey & Mark Burnett. This period piece film is well acted and beautifully shot.
Alien gives it 3 ½ "do you believe you can do it" stars out of 4.
