From what I saw, the reviews who say it is sweet and heart-warming. Unfortunately, we started watching it with our kids and the constant stream of profanity made it too embarrassing to keep watching with them. The kids kept looking at us like, "Mom and Dad, you know you have taught us better than this. Why did you pick this movie?"
Sometimes movie makers try too hard to be "realistic" and ruin the experience of enjoying a movie together as a family.
This movie definitely deals with the realities of poverty and bullying. I grew up in a rural area in the 1970s, and this definitely brought back memories.
Back then not everyone felt the need to cuss in every sentence, so in that way this movie was not realistic.
