This tells the story of a strong friendship between a young boy with Morquio's syndrome and an older boy who is always bullied because of his size. Adapted from the novel, Freak the Mighty, the film explores a building of trust and friendship. Kevin, an intelligent guy helps out Maxwell to improve his reading skills. In return, Kevin wants Maxwell to take him out places since he is not allowed out unauthorized. Being the social outcasts of the town, Kevin and Maxwell come to realize that they are similar to each other and accept that they are "freaks" and nothing will stop them.

Movie Parental Guide

nudity The guys pass by a downtown adult storefront that sports signs saying: "Girls Galore" and "Girls, Girls, Girls" (but we don't see anything more than the signs).
violence Blade and his gang surround Max and Kevin in a dark alley and carry sticks. As Blade gets out a heavy chain that he prepares to strike Kevin with, Max lifts up a heavy manhole cover and uses it as a shield against the stick attacks, and finally throws the cover at the gang as they run away. Max's dad chokes Loretta Lee almost to death. He also attempts to choke Max until Kevin comes in and stops him. Kevin gets in a car crash.
profanity At least one slang term for breasts (as in "It's as cold as a witch's t*t"), 6 damns, 3 hells, 3 craps, 1 ass (used with "hole"), 1 turd, and 2 uses of "Oh my God" and "Oh Lord" and 1 use each of "Jesus Christ" and "Oh God" as exclamations.
alcohol Iggy tells Loretta, "Woman, you are drunk" and she replies that she is (and we see her drinking something from a glass).
frightening Kevin chokes on food in the school cafeteria and falls to the floor. Later, we see him in a hospital where a doctor tells his mom the bad news that he probably only has a year left to live.
