Unsung Hero

Engaging and compelling, this is a heartfelt tribute to the power of family and faith. The film's emotional depth and honest depiction of real-life struggles make it a must watch, especially for those crying out for more believable faith based dramas.

The film is as bland as whole milk, but admittedly competently made. The songs are pleasant enough to listen to and the younger actors perform well without seeming too pert or excessively cutesy.

The staging of the Ramseys themselves and Smallbone (which they also direct) does not exceed what could be expected from a television production. [Full review in Spanish]

Feels more like band merch than an insightful family portrait.

For the most part, “Unsung Hero” does what David Smallbone himself didn’t do: It shies away from taking risks.

Is your family what really makes you rich in life? “Unsung Hero” doesn’t really have the answer to that question, but it convincingly argues that making a hit movie about them wouldn’t hurt.

Sure the narrative follows a predictable path and the messaging about “not making your dreams your master” and putting family first is laid on a little thick, but it’s hard not be won over by the trials and tribulations of this proto-Partridge Family.

Good true story about the kindness of strangers, but needed more emotional glue.

Heartfelt and cute, it's a positive film but needs a little more polish.

'Unsung Hero' is a faith-filled true story about overcoming the odds.
