Watch The Mighty Movie Online.
Movie Title: The Mighty The Mighty is available for streaming or downloading. |
My class of fifteen “learning disabled” students read the book “Freak the Remarkable”. These are at risk students who for the most piece, could care less about reading anything. They absolutely loved the book! Every day at bell time I would hear, “No, we can’t finish here!” Some even wanted to engage the book home and read ahead! While watching the film, I noticed some 6th grade boys with tears in their eyes and the girls were simply dissolved in tears. This is a amazing movie for people of all ages but particularly for those kids who sometimes feel like they chase in Max and Freak’s footsteps every day. We also read the sequel, “Max the Distinguished” and found it equally as entertaining. We are hoping there is a movie sequel! Thank you Rodman Philbrick for writing such a glowing,memorable epic! Kudos to the cast of “The Considerable” for their performances. I intend to catch a copy for myself and several for gifts.
How in the HELL did this movie regain lost in theatres? Why didn’t every critic in America allege the world to scrutinize it?
I remember when I first heard that this book, FREAK THE Great (by Rodman Philbrick), was going to be made into a movie and that Gillian Anderson was going to play a tiny role. Well, I went ahead and read the book because (a) I’m an X-Files fan, and (b) I wanted to know what so drew her to the project that she was willing to play a less than a major role.
The book unprejudiced tore me apart– it wasn’t fair that I’d been a misfit myself in my youth, but the fact that it dealt with sometimes extraordinary, sometimes painful situations in such a clear-eyed method, never pandering to or underestimating the intelligence of the reader.

This film, while not adhering to the book to the letter (but damned cessation) kept the SPIRIT of the book intact, and for that I credit not only the director and screenwriter but the cast. Everyone interested seems to be most concerned with truth– not is it dramatic, is it shaded, is it laughable, but is it Objective?
While I credit all interested parties with making this film work so well, I have to say that NONE of it would have worked had it not been for the two leads, Elden Hensen and Kieran Culkin. These two Fabulous young men are so utterly concerned with their characters as human beings that there is not a single unfounded stamp in either performance. Going in, Culkin has an additional challenge/handicap– the wiseacre type honed by his brother Macauley might well have been expected here, given the no-apologies intelligence that characterizes Kevin/Freak. But Culkin has no interest in unprejudiced getting laughs– he seems entirely aware that there are more famous treasures to be had from this material.
That’s not to say that there aren’t moments that accomplish you smile or yes, laugh, but they happen through the comedy of CHARACTER, not status. There are no cheap emotions on the camouflage, nor do they try to elicit them from the viewer. When you laugh and yowl at this movie, it is because you feel a Section of the proceedings, not that this is something keep in front of you merely to entertain. It is clear why such stellar actors (Anderson, Sharon Stone, Harry Dean Stanton, Gena Rowlands, James Gandolfini) were drawn to this project– there is more than enough well-drawn, knowing material to go around, even to the smallest of roles. I also felt that the film improved on the original by giving it a bit more an ending; the book fair kind of STOPPED, and I was ecstatic to search for a bit more resolution. These characters deserved it.

I give the film 4 stars rather than 5 because of (a) the all-too-real violence and threatened violence seems jarring at times (as it did in the book as well) and (b) the lack of extras on this edition (a truncated slack the scenes featurette and NO commentary tracks, which is positively CRIMINAL given the talent keen) .
So even though neither the film nor the presentation (although the music video by Sting is kind of fun) is perfect, do NOT let that dissuade you from seeing this film. You will not notice its like again soon.
