Not your (stereo)typical Native movie

The critics have shortchanged the elements that raise "The Doe Boy" above the predictable. The Native protagonist has a serious but not life-threatening disease. His Native mother is gainfully employed as a nurse. His Native friends tease him but also protect him from harm. His Native grandfather gives him a flute ... but says it's for catching girls. His Native love interest is a college student who studies speech therapy.

All in all, I'd say "The Doe Boy" is more entertaining than thought-provoking, but it's worth seeing. Rob's rating: 7.5 of 10.
