Featured reviews
I've personally missed seeing Justin play. I hope to see more.
This is a great movie. Nothing fancy, but very well done and played. By all of the actors.
This is worth the watch if you consider this.
Coming from a person who grew up absolutely despising "boy bands" and the like, Mr. Timberlake was often a butt of jokes in my circle. To be honest, I looked at him as a talentless fabrication in the 90's. I would have never imagined an entertainer that I looked at as so lacking prove me so wrong. I enjoyed this movie very much. The story was touching and the acting was very good but what brought it was Mr. Timberlake. I would have never have thought he could pull off a roll such as this. I give my rating because of his performance. Quite impressive to say the least. I almost equate this to Shia in "The Peanut Butter Falcon". Great job by all.
Nice story, great acting and nice emotional moments.
This movie is under rated because American reviewers get triggerred by gender related stories, even though the movie doesn't take any positions on those issues, it just shows you that those stuff do happen and they're not easy to deal with. I also see some complaining that the teacher was black. Yes people of different colors can fall in love, believe it or not.
Just enjoy the movie.

Gotta hand it to young Ryder Allen for a remarkable performance. Palmer is a great story that breaks your heart at moments, but also touches it and gives you hope in the potential for good in people. It was also well shot, edited, and composed.
The importance of second chances in a movie that with move your heart more than once, it maybe a little bit long but the feeling after watching it is something you won't regret.
Justin Timberlake make a performance so good about a man that find in a very special kid the opportunity to see things in a very different ways, to learn how to change and be good after everything bad that has happen in your life.
Life has very funny ways to make you better

I don't know why in the hell people are complaining it's cliche, it's messy blah blah blah. You know form the previews what you're getting. An x-con with a heart of gold. A boy in the wrong body, gay, confused, trans and to top it off he's saddled with a druggie mom. You know what's going to happen. Doesn't make it any the less heartwarming and sweet. I think JT (Palmer) did a great job, I've always thought he was a decent actor. Sam was really good, as far a child actor go, I think he's got it! It's a feel good movie, so if you don't like that kind of movie, then don't watch it. Pretty simple if you ask me. If you like a sweet film then watch it.
