Saint Ralph (2004)

Synopsis: A young boy whose mother is in a coma pledges to run in a marathon in the hopes that it would supernaturally bring her back.

Appraisal: Weak stuff, very uninspired. What can you expect from a film whose very premise is based on a semantical misconstruction -- if "only a miracle could bring her back", then winning the marathon could do it (since it would be a miracle); when of course the sentence doesn't mean that at all, but rather that only a supernatural intervention could bring her back, which in itself would constitute a miracle.

Rating: 21
