Review of Saint Ralph (2004)

I really liked โ€œSaint Ralph โ€œ. It is great movie full with inspiration. Ralph is a fourteen years old teenager who choose to chases his own miracle โ€“ winning the Bostonโ€™s marathon. He believes that since people say that such achievement will be a miracle โ€“ his mother will wake up from the coma. It is a drama movie and as such there are quite a few scenes which can evoke emotions in its viewers.

The movie starts with a fun scene in which Ralph is having something to confess โ€“ what โ€“ well he is a teen and have teen โ€œ sins โ€œ . I like the attitude of Ralph โ€“ the way he handles girls for example, or accusations โ€ฆetc. He is a cute kid as well โ€“ and probably one of the reasons for me liking this movie is that I somehow relate to him.After all I have been in the Cross Country Team while studding in the States and when I was his age I took part in many running competitions. You should have seen me watching this movie, as another reviewer (samurai2347) wrote โ€œI was cheering Ralph on as much as the other characters in the film were.โ€

The soundtrack was really good โ€“ and the music contributed to the overall good impression that the movie leaves. Looking at the storyline โ€“ I find similarities with Billy Elliot, trough of course this movie has its own uniqueness.
