Movie Review # 719: The Unbreakable Boy (2025)

And now, everyone, today, we review a film that was based on true events. It is the one, and only, The Unbreakable Boy!

Plot: The movie revolves around a boy named Austin LeRette (Jacob Laval), who is on the Autism spectrum, and has a brittle bone disease. In spite of conditions like these, can people like his father (Zachary Levi), and stepmother (Meghan Fahy), and the rest of his family, and friends help him succeed in life?

Wow, what a remarkable movie! First of all, to have a chance to journey with Austin, and his family is really remarkable in this case. I mean with the hardships that Austin had to face due to both his autism, as well as the frequent hospital visits as a result of him having the condition of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, but him continuing to have joy in the midst of all of that, wow, I think most of us could learn something from Austin, and the rest of his family. Additionally, though it may be a family film, there are quite a few heavy moments in this film as well. In fact, there are some moments that might fly over those of younger kids. And that’s okay, those kids can ask about those when they’re older. The characters are also really well done. I was surprised by how much Austin himself really stood out in this film. And what’s more is how having autism can have both its negatives, and positives at the same time. Then, of course, there’s the acting. I mean Zachary Levi as Scott, Austin’s dad, he may have a very similar personality to other characters that Levi may play in other films like Shazam, or even Flynn in Tangled. At the same time, however, Levi also knows how to have a more somber, and serious side for any moments that require that as well. However, probationer of the biggest standouts of this film is how the son, Austin, still remains joyful, and hardly ever cares about what anyone thinks of him. Not to mention that Austin will show love, and compassion to those who may not deserve it. Honestly, for those of us that haven’t seen this film yet, that is one of the reasons that everyone needs to see this film. Truth be told, this film will probably help others gain a better perspective on people, and life overall. For reasons such as these, the characters, and the story overall are really well developed.

And that’s my review for The Unbreakable Boy. The movie, overall, helps teach great lessons on love, and compassion for others, faith, and other good qualities that we need more films about. Truth be told, it is films like this one that need to gain more in popularity than films like Captain America: Brave New World. No offense to superhero franchises, or even franchises that have come out over the past month, but solo films like this need to have the spotlight more so by other people as well. If you want to see a film in which the main character, and his family had to overcome so many impossible odds in life, then The Unbreakable Boy is truly a must see. It’s guaranteed that people that see this movie will most definitely take some valuable lessons after watching it. Hard to believe!?! Well, then definitely see for yourself then!

Final Rating: 10/10
