A Mile in His Shoes (2011 TV Movie)
8/10
Down to Earth Heartfelt Story

Warning: Spoilers
A Mile In His Shoes is not one of your Hollywood top star acting movies. It isn't about blowing up things, or entertaining the viewer at all times so they're always on the edge of their seat.

Instead, it's rather low key, character driven and character centered. Special effects? No, but neither are they warranted in this story. I found this to be more realistic in many ways, while it explored faith in God (and loss of that faith), the loss of a child, disabilities, challenges, and how they intertwine in life.

The movie includes a decent portrayal of a young person with a disability, who chooses to move beyond his fears and take steps to be successful, sink or swim. This could inspire those with similar conditions to break out of a normal routine of self-doubt and try different things, explore ways to be successful themselves. The key here is to branch out and try something you might enjoy, without being trapped by fear.

A Mile In His Shoes also includes a man who lost his son at ten years of age, and we see a little of how he handled the aftermath. But he floods the main character with the confidence he needs, and is right there to help him be successful, a mentor of import. The story also includes a father who saw his son similar to the way he saw himself, and learned to change his perceptions at the end.

I believe this is a family friendly, quality movie that can be enjoyed by many.
