Did a bit of research about this movie and the dad that abused him as a kid in the trailer is the actual guy they are doing the movie about. He wanted to play as his abusive dad because he thought he could be more truthful than other actors. Said it was hard playing the role of his abusive dad but it was also the most rewarding because he knows he’s nothing like his dad
@@benyaminyisrael4634 should search him up, his name is John Buultjens. Quite a good read about his story. Probably better than watching the movie actually lol but that’s if you wanna search and read abit more about him. It’s quite interesting to be honest 😊
@@marekosolomona9390 I just looked up John's story and wow it is more incredible than the film. His past was so rough but his adoptive parents truly loved him unconditionally. Amazing story
@@AnonYmous-en7op have you watched his videos on here as well, he’s a legend on the bmx bike as well. Humble man and yes his life before getting adopted was awful and I’m glad he’s living life right now. His adopted parents are amazing and they did a great job bringing him up
yes all plot points were hit , Racist kid , black adopter , BMX is the thing that they root for , father has a history , everyone sympathisez , all is good in the end.
@@Veon_Ray like I said. Crash was overrated and wasn't really best picture material. Also Luda's role wasn't a huge departure from most his stuff then.
@sho jo ji the "like I said" was me standing by initial comment bout Luda doin a non FF movie that looks good. Cuz I don't consider Crash to be in that category.
@sho jo ji I was just about to say the same thing, lol, and you beat me to it. And Crash *literally* won an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, NAACP (and many others) for *Best Picture,* because it was, *like I said!* Lol!
Crazy thing is there’s a lot of people walking around every day that look older or younger than they really are. Smh , why can’t people just enjoy a good performance and quit trying to pick it apart?
Yea, seriously. The story looks good, but its hard to watch the white middle aged man pretending to be a young kid. The "kid" looks old enough to adopt his own kid.
Ok I can see how you can say he looks older than Luda but I just finish watching it and it was a touching, heartfelt film. I think Shane did a great job portraying a young man facing his past and creating a better future with the help of his interracial family. Highly recommend.
This looks great. I have a kid coming into my life, a boy whose parents are separated and constantly sees fighting and being left out, I will watch this with him, I think it will show him there is other ways compared to the way he lashes out and hates everyone at the moment, plus it will help us bond more. I think that is what these movies hope and want.....
@@davelightsaber1621 exactly. I know effluent educated well-off melanated men living in the suburbs whom congregate with other melanated men. You don’t have to be white washed to be a strong successful man with melanin.
I LOVE Ludacris! He’s a wonderful, EXTREMELY TALENTED man and I can not WAIT to see this movie. I love Sasha Alexander too. So I’m doubly excited! I’m watching it right now!
Oh my God thank you! I love such movies where you put all your talents into a positive vibe to remind us to believe in kindness. And inspired by a true story, thanks again for spreading the stories of the generous fighters among us. Such movies are more than movies for many of us ❤️
This film... I don't even have a word to explain it this film is different and the story is so amazing that anyone can relate and I think this is the best film ever.
Literally no one thinks that way or commented something like that here. It must be you who thought of something like that and probably realized "hey, I'm a racist mofo, better comment something to make myself feel good"
@@marloncanas6221 - I’ve seen comments everywhere Chris’s acting is posted. I’m a huge fan of his and decided to try a new way to encourage people to open their minds up BEFORE they say something negative. But you were half-right. My earlier comment started out longer and contained a little bitchiness, which I decided to delete. So I DID make myself feel good about that.
Imagine will you. The year is 2004 you are blasting Ludacris’s album Chicken & Waffles in your bedroom. A time traveler from the year 2020 comes in the room with a futuristic looking hand held device and hits what looks to be the play button on it and this trailer comes on the screen. Ludacris adopting a 47 year old white mam still in high school and teaches him how to do tricks on a BMX bike. Mind blown.
It's funny because I was having a conversation about Chris recently and I was wondering what he was doing and I'm glad to see him in this...looking forward to watching this.
Now, I've never thought that Sasha Alexander and Ludacris as wife and husband would look this good. It's weird but awesome at the same time. Cause I know her as Dr. Maura Isles on Rizzoli and Isles. And I know him as Tej in Fast and Furious. So to see these two different personalities come together had my mind blowing 10 times. WOW. *I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE NOW😆😆😆!*
@@jackprestonmusic no don’t give him an Oscar at least not for that. Because that’s not even Matt Damon it’s Shane Graham. P.s I still stand by the fact that Matt Damon could never play a teenager he’s 50 y/o for gods sake.
Bless him ...adopting a juvenile delinquent neo-nazi grown man, showing him compassion and sleeping peaceful with your door unlocked when he’s down the hall. Better than me.
It's a film, fantasy. I'm in California, there were some well meaning people in this state that took in homeless people - they stopped doing it when one of the people that they took in, murdered them all. That's reality.
@@richardwicks4190 I used to think how great it would be if maybe wealthy people wanted to allow homeless people to stay with them. Then I realize that you never know if the stranger has an ulterior motive or what they'd do in your home.
Ok so here's the summary of the movie: White kid doesn't like being adopted by a black guy Black guy teaches kid how to ride a bike Kid enters bike competition and wins Kid loves his new dad THE END
This looks like an awesome movie I actually cried through the whole entire trailer right to see Christopher Bridges playing that role oh my goodness they pick the best man for the job
Kee, would you believe Chris asked to play my father Eldridge Buultjens. Chris read the script and asked for the role. So very blessed, he did my father proud.
I just finished watching the movie and I will say it's worth a watch. A lot of people have been critical of the actor who portrayed the troubled teen and saying he looks too old for the part. Although, I admit that may be somewhat true; however I will say in this type of character role it needs to be portrayed by an actor mature enough to convey the words behind the script that a younger actor I don't think could have showcased that message. This movie really tackled some hard issues that made it important to have the right and best actors for the movie. Also, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges really impressed me as an actor in this film and I've seen his growth as an actor away from the Fast and Furious franchise. Bottomline, this movie is a must share and a great speaking point on important issues that society is dealing with today.
Ludacris still looking like he's 30, the son looking like he's 35
That’s life.
So true 😂😂😂😂
Lmao.
Something don’t something. Can’t remember what it is.
Racist😅
Changing the world, adopting one 30 year old man at a time.

No tease or anything. The whole movie is right here... edited, of course
Haha. You're right. I think it's getting worse. Right? I don't remember being able to watch all the best parts of the movies on youtube before.
The moment rapper ludacris evolved into the talented actor Chris bridges
Agreed!!!
FACTS!!💪🏾💪🏾
I remember that moment...it was 15yrs ago, in the movie Crash
That’s a little of a stretch...
It was when he played a bad-guy in Law and Order SVU... One of the best acting for a bad guy in TV history...
Adopts son, takes him home.. tells him to move out since he’s 30
😆 classic shi# real life
jajajajajajajajajajaajajajaj
HAHAHA I'm rolling
😂😂😂
😭😭😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I'm glad Ludacris is taking his acting career seriously
He Always Did... LEADERSHIP and DICTATOR SHIP
He always has taken acting seriously......
Why did Luda adopt that 37 year old man?
LOLLLLLLL! I'm wondering the same thing!!!!

I just watched this movie and it was awesome. Great acting, great story telling. A beautiful story of redemption, forgiveness, and grace.
95% of the comments here: the son is older than the father 🤦🏽♂️

Yes he has, ain't he Fine

Wow that's great, how are you doing Naomi, I love that beautiful smile on your face, you're looking so beautiful
One of the best movies I ever seen in my life Luda and the son taught so many life lessons I laughed I cried felt so good
Everyone saying "they should've did this,they should've did that",shut up and enjoy the movie
Whoever is having a hard time right now keep your head up you got this 👐🏻
"Everybody deserves a second chance" 🙂
Luda’s acting is legit here. Never thought I’d say those words.
Very heart touching movie. Tears were running from eyes while watching this trailer
This is just what the world needs! ❤️💕
Amen...
Aw, that looks really sweet and timely! The comments on how old the kid looks are KILLING me! LOL
Hello, how are you doing,,?
The kid is obviously in his 40s , Him & Luda could literally be drinking buddies😂😂
Hilarious 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Stoooooop💀😂😂😂😂😂

That's what I find jarring and can't take this movie seriously despite the soaring music which is just making it worse for me 😂
He said "everyone deserves a second chance" like this 37-year-old teenager ain't already have about 7 chances pre-mid-life crisis...
Leave that old man alone 😂
