Young Jacob Tremblay (you may remember his amazing performance in the 2015 film Room) is charming as a fifth grader with congenital problems that has left him with very obvious facial deformities (even after umpteen previous surgeries). His parents (played by Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson), who have been homeschooling him, now are helping him adjust to the world of school and other kids, after being sheltered for so long. You can imagine how the boy is bullied and ends up showing more maturity than his new classmates, but even the clichés are done nicely. Nothing great but an entertaining, one(or two)-Kleenex journey.
