"Everybody's against bullying, right? " That doesn't make the most boring movie in the world good. Very strange flashback way of telling a story. The way the story is told is confusing. Maybe the movie is saying the dad had an actual terrible relationship with his son, but made up for it by bonding with him in his imagination? Maybe the son didn't exist and this a movie about mental illness. That makes more sense to explain why the dad went on a long trip pushing a shopping cart down the highway.

This is well worth a watch - a very sad tale told in a way that both uplifts and depresses in equal measure.

Thankfully, this didn't pull on the heartstrings in a manipulative way. Instead, it told the story of Joe and Jadin in a simple way and earned its status as a heartbreaker without being overly sentimental. A good film although it did seem to jump through certain scenes quite quickly. Despite this, the film is a reminder of tolerance, forgiveness, and the need to seek support when life becomes too much to bear. It resonated with me on a personal level and I'm sure it will resonate with many more.

Joe Bell is such an emotional story that I highly recommend everyone watching this as it really spreads across a key message. We first see that Jadin Bell was getting bullied for being gay as all he wants to do is get on More

Reid Miller is quite engaging here as the bullied gay youngster Jadin Bell. His time at school is torrid, and he seems unable to secure any help to protect him from the bigoted assholes he must face each day. His father (Mark Wahlberg) is supportive, but in a 'don't ask don't tell" sort of fashion, More
