The cast is uniformly good, the writing is spot on, and there is even a period of real suspense. 15 out of 17 found this helpful.
Ralph is a fatherless 14-year-old with a seriously ill mother, who knows he's a time bomb waiting to explode into greatness, except that he has no idea where that greatness will manifest itself. However, it's never corny. OK - somewhere out there is someone with a list of "Movies you never heard of but really should see." Ralph takes this literally and believes that by effecting a personal miracle he can bring his mother out of her coma.

| Rating: 3/4 May 13, 2009 I recently watched this surprisingly good movie with some friends. There is a mix of comedy and drama and the ending is a bit of a heart-tugger but I enjoyed this film. All rights reserved.
This is one of the best of its genre, the extremely gritty dedicated athlete/musician/singer/painter who takes on the world against all odds. And although the movie lacks the things that appeal most to American audiences--violence, endless profanity, mindless stupid flag waving, a predictable plot that any 3 year could hang with-- please try to give the movie a chance anyway. "Saint Ralph", has shot up into my top three movies of all time (now with "His Girl Friday" and "The Player"). What Saint Ralph shares in common with these films is the extreme athletic determination, against all odds, of a spirited boy from a pathetic background. This is the story of Ralph Walker, a 14-year-old who in 1954 outran everyone's expectations in his bold quest to win the Boston Marathon.
Gordon Pinset is perfectly cast playing the sclerotic, hard-ass headmaster priest.
As penance for his actions, Ralph is conscripted to the cross-country team. 3 out of 4 found this helpful. One of my absolute favorites. As penance for his actions, Ralph is conscripted to the cross-country team. Check it out.
It is a film with a lot of wry, gentle humor, especially for those who may have gone to parochial schools when they were staffed primarily by nuns, brothers, and priests. Was this review helpful?
We won’t be able to verify your ticket today, but it’s great to know for the future.Theater box office or somewhere else In short, this is a good film. | Rating: 3.5/4 Sidney Poitier’s 7 Most Memorable Performances Was this review helpful? There may be a bit too much sexual comedy for most parents to let small children see.
Ralph’s mother is sick in the hospital, with some form of cancer presumably (though her illness is never defined), and she soon slips into a devastating coma.

The movie positions itself in that delicious but awkward transition between boyhood innocence and adulthood stoicism or cynicism.
This Canadian made comedy/drama, set in Hamilton, Ontario in 1954, is a sweet and - at times - goofy story that becomes increasingly poignant as the minutes tick by. PG-13 (for some sexual content and partial nudity) There may be a bit too much sexual comedy for most parents to let small children see. It is a film with a lot of wry, gentle humor, especially for those who may have gone to parochial schools when they were staffed primarily by nuns, brothers, and priests.
This is never sentimentalized, his exchanges with his mother before she slips into her coma are beautifully written and believable.
Drama
I'm be no means a film buff but this movie was totally extraordinary, a really feel good movie in every way, I'm being as honest as i totally can and i can only say watch and enjoy and feel good,all the actors in this movie were outstanding ,even though I'm not a catholic and the movie is based on the catholic faith , it does not put you off the movie or even put you off any religion, it only makes you feel good , the only surprise for myself was it was never released at the cinemas, maybe in the USA but was definitely not released in the UK, pity as this could have been one of the biggest surprises of 2004/2005.
