The most amazing thing about this movie is that I didn't slip into a long term coma before the end. In fact, the other night I painted the living room... and I have to say, watching the paint dry was more entertaining than this film.
The entire script is non eventful. The acting is shallow and one dimensional. I think a cardboard cutout would have been more convincing in the lead role. And the ending is totally predictable (if you can make it to the end without falling asleep). It could have been a great story, but somehow they've managed to turn a potentially inspiring story into something more boring than watching a Bob Ross show in slow motion.
Icing on the cake, is the grandiose sound track. It just doesn't match what your viewing. There's nothing happening and the overly orchestrated background music sounds as if something incredible is going on. When in fact, nothing vital to the "underdog defeats the world" plot is going on. And sad thing is, the underdog is somebody you don't really care about, or can relate to and by the end of the film you wish he would just go away.
