Reviews
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
bheadher ...since it was never meant to be a war movie. Instead, it is something of a biography...while dramatized to the hilt, it is none the less the true story of Calvin Graham, acknowledged to be the youngest veteran of the WW2 Navy. It includes some stark WW2 film clips of action, and overall is fairly well done, telling young Graham's subterfuge in enlisting, then fighting on the USS South Dakota, while bouncing back to his imprisonment after being found out. The movie does a good job of getting the point across that the Navy really didn't know what to do with him...Not an EMMY level movie, but still worth watching...

mamie16354 I think this movie is a very good movie. My brother and I watched this when we were younger and thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie. We got to talking about it a while back and decided to find the name of the movie as we could not remember. We were telling his wife about it and saying how we would like to see the movie again and get a copy. We may have been young, but we still think the movie is very good. It is about a young boy that had a dysfunctional family and joined the navy during World War II at the age of twelve. The fact that he was so young was not revealed until much later after he had been awarded for his bravery. We enjoyed the movies as it was about a young boy not much older than ourselves. The whole family enjoyed it. It is a family oriented movie and I recommend you watch Too young the hero.
Sonic-6 Well, Too Young the Hero is a very campy war movie made for TV. My Grandfather was on the same Battleship that the story takes place during the second world war. I used to watch the movie constantly when I was younger, until I realized that it really isn't very good. The acting is not the best I've seen, and the entire story is generally not pulled off well.
