Wonder
Usually when a student wears a mask to school everyone heads for the nearest exit and calls 9-1-1.
However, if it's the concealed kid in this drama, you welcome them.
Born with a defect that finds him hiding behind a mask in public, Auggie (Jacob Tremblay) has been homeschooled by his parents (Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson) his whole life - until now. Exposed, Auggie faces his peers for the first time. While some are kind, most are not.
Meanwhile, his older sister (Izabela Vidovic) competes against her former BFF for the lead in the school play.
From facial deformities to middle school bullies to a dead dog to an amateur production of Our Town, this family melodrama pulls every tear-jerking trick it can to endear itself to the viewer. Unfortunately, its manipulative schmaltz is boilerplate, sitcom-y even.
Besides, once you get to high school every teenager has a facial deformity. Red Light
