Trust in Love

Refreshing to come across a good family movie that highlights battles we go through daily. Great balance of emotions- such as humor, happiness, sadness, relief, and more. Did a great job at teaching real life lessons, but in a way that can be easily received by viewers. If you are anything like me and you love romantic dramas, especially those that explore the complexities of love, trust, and the challenges that arise when these elements are put to the test- this movie is for you. Overall, it brings together a talented cast to deliver a narrative that is both emotionally charged and relatable, making it a compelling watch.

"Trust in Love" is an incredibly important film, especially for families like mine. Watching the story of a young man coming out really resonated with me, as my daughter came not long ago. The emotions in this movie are real-it's like they captured the emotions we went through as a family. The film does a beautiful job of showing the complexities of love, acceptance, and understanding. The movie also sparked important conversations that other families can benefit from. We all felt connected to different parts of the story for different reasons. As a mother, I was touched to see the father's journey from confusion to unconditional support. It's a reminder that, as parents, the love for our children should always be stronger than our fears. I highly recommend this one.

Just saw this film in an early screening in NYC. I really enjoyed the father/son relationship. Mickey knew he didn't have the experience that he could relate to his son but he resourcefully found someone who could identify personally. That is even better than trying to do it himself, in my opinion. The characters are really likeable - even the ones doing things that are wrong. The peek into the music business is pretty realistic too - especially the young people on their cel phones in the studio. The acting wasn't overdone - it was just right. Not a lot of names I knew, but I'm sure we will hear more from all of them in the future.

Way more laughs than I expected. Great story of a family struggling with real issues including a son coming out in high school. Eric Roberts is hilarious.

Lots of twists and turns and lots of memorable characters. Malibu life showcased as it is.

Inspiring ending with surprises of hope.

The dynamic between the mom and dad splitting up is way to close to home, but mistakes by both everywhere until some things happen to change the situation. The attorney interviews had me crying with laughter as I had that in a real life experience.

The surf dude is a superstar. Great casting with Jimi Petulla being a strong anchor to it all.

Loved the feeling I left the movie with.

This coming of age story just works for all the characters in the film. Mick Davis' gentle directing really brought out the best in everyone in this funny film sorta based on a true story.

I always find it amazing when someone writes a film they get to star in and it does well, and Petulla who plays Mickey and wrote the film, did a great job carrying the role. It's shot beautifully, has Steelheart's Miljenko Matijevic, a funny co-starring turn by Eric Roberts and a cameo from Robby Krieger of The Doors. We all need a little feel good these days and this one really comes from the heart.

Come for the funny, stay for the tag.
