There is a reason The Mighty keeps coming up in conversation. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate The Mighty from the crowd. 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 authorized to go out. 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. Sharon Stone and Elden Henson lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1998. The timing in The Mighty is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in The Mighty. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Sharon Stone anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
