Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
看着苏桦伟在赛场上拼劲全力的奔跑，你会觉得，这个世界上没有什么苦难是无法跨越的，所有的阻碍都是为了跨越时那自由灵巧的一跳。
题材就胜利，本来就是让你哭，能哭就是成功。整体唯一有技术性巧思的是每次男主摘下助听器，就伴随了噪音。演技方面，吴君如正常发挥，不过怀疑她打了针有点僵，反而男主表现得更出色。
吴君如真的特别有母亲味儿，电影差点火候，差在哪儿也不知道，总觉得那个情绪既不是克制，也不是奔放，就是差着一口气儿。但也确实是个不错的电影。
三星半。很煽情但是拍成了流水账，全靠真实性和演员演技撑着。其实残障运动员真的很不容易，不管是训练还是待遇都难以支持，做残疾人的家属也真是很难。
为故事背后真实坚韧勇敢的主角们鼓掌，➕1🌟
只有一边练习一边拍广告那段比较好，其他的全部都看得让人很无语，普通话配音非常非常非常出戏
情节上的起承转合很工整，人物的高光和困境都合理展现，煽情和热血互为作用，虽然程度有点过但不会令人反感。演员们都演得很好，港味很纯正的体育题材，必须要看粤语原声。华语片已经越来越乏善可陈了，港产片会慢慢触底反弹吗？感觉有这个迹象。
《神奇小子》亦著眼、凸顯屋村籠民的小心思，平淡之中見真情。
低配版「阿甘正传」，胜在饰演童年少年成年苏桦伟的3个演员演得真好，我当时都在和同去的朋友讨论说，这些演员到底是不是残障人士，后来一查资料还不是，大写的神奇！
剧情和励志肯定是棒棒哒。难道就没有人发现，海报上吴君如特别像 任素汐么？
三星半。很煽情但是拍成了流水账，全靠真实性和演员演技撑着。其实残障运动员真的很不容易，不管是训练还是待遇都难以支持，做残疾人的家属也真是很难。
值得一提的是，这些特殊人群在影片中往往都是子女的角色，无论是《孔雀》中的“胖子”、《海洋天堂》中的王大福、《左耳》中的“小耳朵”、《一念无明》中的阿东、《了不起的老爸》中的肖尔东、《妈妈的神奇小子》中的苏桦伟……这也导致国产电影中的亲情元素在与其他类型融合的同时，不断将触角伸到了特殊人群，扩展了自身人文关怀的范畴。
劇情安排上張力不足，難以喚起眾人的感動，我想這套片的感動位是因為喚起大眾對真人蘇樺偉的回憶，而不是戲內的場景。不過都應該支持一下本地製作及體育的故事。
《妈妈的神奇小子》讲的是苏桦伟的故事，不过角度却是从他的母亲出发，讲述了一个伟大母亲近三十年的辛苦操劳。
妈妈的辛苦没有深究刻画，但她的真实都有铺垫出来。生二胎为了以后照顾老大，为了老大退役后不用那么辛苦，抓住时机多拍广告，为了儿子未来的每一步路，都做了计划的同时也忽略了小儿子。这就是妈妈的无奈心酸和自我的痛苦。 现实就是残奥会的关注度真的低好多，奥运会运动员退役后生活过得不好尚且不少，希望真的同工同酬，别区别对待。他们比任何人都更不容易的站上比赛台，去拼搏努力。
国配版好减分，苏妈内心强大，苏桦伟真争气，钱小豪还是那么帅啊
『妈妈的神奇小子』改编自残奥会冠军苏桦伟真实事迹，从小到大选的三位演员表演的都很到位，整个影片节奏把控也很不错，主要聚焦其五次奥运6枚金牌的历程，有热血、有温情、有幽默，同时也不乏梦想与现实的碰撞，励志之余也留给人不少的反思。【7或8分】
君如和蘇的三個演員都好出色，特別係成年後。見到洪嘉豪出來笑出聲，還有locker演弟弟，蘭姨，盧海鵬，6永，當然特別是柳柳的歌聲響徹影院，聽了就當見了。影片開場孩子學會走的處理好抓馬哈，唔知係咪致敬阿甘呢，雖然本片都有點出戲---濾鏡，心諗如果拍得貼地一點就好了，但定位大概沒那麽沉重，單純想喚起普羅大眾關注這個問題來的情感渲染吧。
先杨后抑，第一次夺冠后感动的一塌糊涂，后面比较平了，回到了现实问题：一个正常运动员退役后求生都困难，何况一个残疾运动员了。
