“The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete” has been on my radar for a while, and I’m very excited to see it, especially due to the buzz surrounding the performances its two young stars. Skylan Brooks and Ethan Dizon play Mister and Pete, respectively. These characters are on a quest to find Mister’s mother (Jennifer Hudson), a woman on the wrong side of the tracks who has turned up missing.

The film is from Codeblack Films and Lionsgate. Here’s more about “The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete”:

“From Codeblack Films and Lionsgate. During a sweltering summer in New York City, 13-year-old Mister’s (Brooks) hard-living mother (Hudson) is apprehended by the police, leaving the boy and nine-year-old Pete (Dizon) alone to forage for food while dodging child protective services and the destructive scenarios of the Brooklyn projects. Faced with more than any child can be expected to bear, the resourceful Mister nevertheless feels he is an unstoppable force against seemingly unmovable obstacles. But what really keeps the pair in the survival game is much more Mister’s vulnerability than his larger-than-life attitude.”
