Critics Consensus
Unsung Hero presents a heartwarming dramatization of its fact-based story that's just uplifting enough to make up for its tepid approach to real-life drama.
Audience Says
Depicting struggles and triumphs that many families will be able to relate to, Unsung Hero is an inspirational drama the whole family can enjoy.
Linda Marric HeyUGuys 06/26/2024 Engaging and compelling, this is a heartfelt tribute to the power of family and faith. The film's emotional depth and honest depiction of real-life struggles make it a must watch, especially for those crying out for more believable faith based dramas. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 06/10/2024 The film is as bland as whole milk, but admittedly competently made. The songs are pleasant enough to listen to and the younger actors perform well without seeming too pert or excessively cutesy. Go to Full Review Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times 05/07/2024 The staging of the Ramseys themselves and Smallbone (which they also direct) does not exceed what could be expected from a television production. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Michael Medved The Michael Medved Show 12/03/2024 UNSUNG HERO does more than its share of singing, with heartfelt performances and a deeply sympathetic portrayal of family triumph that strikes all the right notes Go to Full Review Paul Salfen AMFM Magazine 11/26/2024 It's a moving faith-based story that its target audience will love and although critics are often harder on these types of films, which are sometimes due to quality issues - this is not that film. The story is engaging, heartfelt, and quite impressive.

Synopsis Based on a remarkable true story, Unsung Hero follows David Smallbone as he moves his family from Down Under to the States, searching for a brighter future after his successful music company collapses. With nothing more than their seven children, suitcases, and their love of music, David (for KING + COUNTRY's Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives. Helen's faith stands against all odds and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs. With their own dreams on hold, David and Helen begin to realize the musical prowess in their children, who would go on to become two of the most successful acts in Inspirational Music history: five-time GRAMMY Award®-winning artists for KING + COUNTRY and Rebecca St. James.
