The Mighty is a great film about love, hope, trust and friendship. It is about two boys, one whose name is Kevin and he has a chronic illness and the other one whose name is Maxwell, and he is emotionally disable and has a father who is in jail for killing. On a bus one day, The Doghouse Boys (The mean boys) Ask him if he wants to join them. "You have some muscle, you could do some damage." says the lead one. Maxwell turns his head, which means no. They then chant, "Killer K, Killer K, had a son who got no brain."(Killer K is Maxwell's dad) You should watch this film, it is amazing and very moving. 10+, PG(Parental Guidance),and 4 stars.
