| Rating: 3.5/5 Desperate to believe a miracle will bring his mother out of a coma, Ralph becomes a convert to the church of running, and determines to win the Boston Marathon. To a pair of cradle Catholics like my wife and I who grew up in the 50s, the bittersweet romance of coming of age was very compelling. One of my absolute favorites.

Ralph, who has lost his father, sees his own mother struck by a serious illness and watches her go into a coma.

I just really like him as a performer, and he’s really good in this.An incredibly enjoyable film that follows as many of the sports movie cliches as it does veer away from others.

When people first discover Saint Ralph, there are typically two reactions. He later says they didn't really need to drain the pool (I'm not going to explain that, you've got to see it, but it was funny). Don’t worry, it won’t take long.

| In short, this is a good film. Just below that it reads "Ticket Confirmation#:" followed by a 10-digit number. | You can't argue with the message. Ralph Walker, the young man at the center of this story, gets more than his share of bad situations at a tender age.

Stories about kids who gain faith through acts of courage are usually tainted with saccharine scripts, but with the wise use of presenting a well-rounded, multidimensional character as the hero of this story, writer/director Michael McGowan succeeds in a touching tale that is so based on real behavioral patterns of young teens that it becomes simply an inspiring and entertaining movie. Ralph (Adam Butcher) is a brazen but cute 14-year-old student fighting the system but inwardly grieving his Dad, who died in the recent war (WW2)and his extremely ill mother who lies in a coma in the hospital.

Set in Hamilton in 1954, Saint Ralph is the unlikely story of Ralph Walker, a ninth grader who outran everyone's expectations except his own in his bold quest to win the Boston Marathon. An unfortunate incident of self-abuse in the community pool inadvertently sets him on this road when, as penance, Ralph is conscripted to the cross-country team.

The producers were able to turn back the clock on Hamilton in a convincing way, with the appropriate prudishness of dress and behaviour for the private catholic school community in the mid-'50s.

It focused (did I spell that rite? The incident becomes a running joke, demonstrating Ralph's character trait of not caring what other people think.

I was surprised at how closely I could identify with the lifestyle of Ralph and with his expressions concerning his experiences. Full of wit, candor, and love abounding.

His struggles with death, illness, dogma, authority and.....errr..... puberty, create a hero that completely won me. In fact she is so bad off that only a miracle could bring her back. The movie is beautifully written and paced. He dream's on and takes the audience on a sweet journey that will rekindle your fire. I gotta admit, whoever wrote the blurb really made it sound sappy and had I picked it up at the local rental store I probably would have put it right back down again. | August 25, 2005 Ralph (Adam Butcher) is a brazen but cute 14-year-old student fighting the system but inwardly grieving his Dad, who died in the recent war (WW2)and his extremely ill mother who lies in a coma in the hospital. | |
