Full disclosure, I’ve only cried during one film in my whole lifetime. Ever. I’m not gonna name the movie because of embarrassment but the cry was only like a tear or two and was a very long time ago. That being said, just looking at the trailer for the movie The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete tells me that my streak may be coming to an end. A Black kid who looks malnourished with a Asian kid as a sidekick in the inner city with no parents against the world? That shit pulls at the heart strings.
Besides the kids, Skylan Brooks & Ethan Dizon, the cast also includes Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Jeffrey Wright, and Anthony Mackie (Sidenote: Anthony Mackie is rocking a fake beard that looks glorious; I can only one day hope to achieve that kind of a beard). Directed by George Tillman Jr. Movie opens on October 11, 2013.
