With his father dead and his mother, Emma, critically ill in the hospital, ninth-grader Ralph Walker is hoping for a miracle to bring her back to health. He doesn't know how to make that miracle happen until he's forced to join the school's cross-country team as a punishment for misbehaving. Ralph begins to believe that if he could do something impossible, like win the Boston Marathon, that it might be the miracle that could bring his mother out of a coma.

Aweome movie. Funny, interesting. Challanges the establishment with a positive message in the end. Worth the time. Everyone in the family enjoyed it!
Saint Ralph is our new favorite movie. It`s a classic to be watched over and over like World According to Garp and Forrest Gump.
