In the tradition of My Left Foot (1989), Peter Chelsom directed this emotional drama of outcasts, adapted from the Rodman Philbrick's popular young-adult novel Freak the Mighty. Although burly, slow-paced eight-grader Maxwell Kane (Elden Hensen), who narrates, is learning disabled, he nevertheless has a poetic soul, as evidenced when he meets the bright and brainy Kevin Dillon (Kieran Culkin), crippled by a birth defect. The physically deformed Kevin, who wears leg braces and uses crutches, suffers from Morquio's Syndrome, which causes physical growth to stop after the age of six. Illiterate Max gets Kevin as a reading tutor, and the two misfits soon become friends, sharing a vision of life as a contemporary Camelot. Gena Rowlands and Harry Dean Stanton appear as Max's grandparents and guardians. Max is portrayed by 19-year-old Emerson College filmmaking student Henson, while Sharon Stone has the role of Gwen Dillon, Kevin's mother. Boston-born author Philbrick, who winters in Key West, otherwise resides in Seacoast, New Hampshire (the setting of the book). The movie was filmed at a soundstage in Toronto, the University of Toronto, Cincinnati, and Covington, Kentucky. Exhibited out of competition at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Great movie that did not get the recantation it should have.
Not a movie for small kids but 9 and up should be ok.
The movies about a kids that has lost his mother do to his father killing her.
Well a few years later the kid is older having trouble in school and a new kid movies in next door that's a little odd.
K kids meat at school one teaches the other read plus like reading and they become friends.
Father tries to take his son back other kids helps save his friend all is going well until the other kid which is sick dies kids friend gets depressed and then after some times starts to be happy again.
I know I don't do the movie the justest it deserves but o well it's a great movie.
