I was definitely not expecting to have been affected by this movie as much as I was. Very touching and spiritual and left you with such perspective. Watched it late at night and, once it was over, I literally had to stop myself from waking my daughter up to tell her how much I love her.

I've been reading other reviews and don't understand what some people are thinking. Definitely not a 10/10.The acting isn't world class but it gets the job done and anyone who has given this movie a 4 or less is obviously a cynical, bitter person who had no business chiming in. If you watch this with an open mind, it will warm your heart.

I have to say, I'm profoundly disappointed by the reviews that trashed this movie because the subjects of the movie were Mormon - you wouldn't even know it until the end, and even then there was nothing to be worked up about, unless you are so afraid of the Mormons that a scene of missionaries offering words of comfort to a bereaved family somehow scares you. There is not one drop of evil or ill-will in this film. Just pretend the young men in suits that only occupy a couple of minutes of the film are old men in robes, and you'll get over it.

That aside - is this a perfect movie? Nah. It's a bit forced and manipulative, but it's also a wonderful story of love. Love of family. Love of a community, and yes, love of God. It might be a bit heavy for young children, but a perhaps a good movie for them anyway. This is a true story whose sole purpose is go inspire and comfort. For a low budget, independent film, the production values and acting aren't bad either. Thank you for sharing your family with us.

I loved this movie so much. It was as realistic and true to how it happened as possible and those bashing it need to know the family before they have a say in how it happened. royjsampilo: I'm sorry that their true story isn't Hollywood Plastic enough for you. Bookwormsrus: Basically, you're saying that you would have liked the movie more if the casting was false to make them black, right? That's what it sounds like. iamoliviacole: The family helped with the casting. The movie is how it happened. When you can say that you went to school in Plain City Utah at Fremont High School than you can say that the movie was unrealistic and "BAD" as you put it.

Stop bashing on a true story about someone you don't know. Not everything has to be Hollywood Plastic.

Seems like most those who gave the film one star were only here to bash The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. How sad. While the film will certainly be well received and more clearly understood by members of the church, the love, kindness and generosity of spirit shown throughout the film appeals to any decent audience. By their fruits ye shall know them, right?

All the acting was very solid and believable. Tatum Chiniquy certainly had a challenging part to play but did so with warmth and dignity. Jasen Wade was excellent as always.

Probably an 8 star movie but I will give it 10 to make up for those who can't give an unbiased review.

Quality and acting is on par with other movies from the Christian inspirational genre. The actors have something deeper vested in the story, which makes their acting more believable ironically than higher budget productions. I must admit I have *never* liked Christian inspirational movies and i rarely write reviews, but this film so successfully told its story, it was worth commenting on. This team knocked one out of the ballpark. Sometimes too cute, yet touching and thought-provoking. A beautiful tribute to Kennedy's legacy.

Helps you understand the important things in life and to always be positive even when bad things happen.

Tragic story, I get that...really I do. The acting is horrible, every single actor is bad. The entire cast and the extras. The voice over is droll, and makes it more unbearable.

I've never watched something so heart warming i found this movie at the perfect time. Cried the whole movie

Once in a great while a film comes along that you want to share with all of your loved ones. LOVE, KENNEDY is one such film. I had the opportunity to see it at the advance screening and was deeply touched by this true story of a young woman's battle with a rare terminal disease. Because of her and her family's belief system they are able keep their faith and have a positive influence on hundreds of people who come to know and love Kennedy and her great strength. Director T.C. Christensen is attracted to true stories of people of faith meeting challenges of life. His 17 MIRACLES, EPHRAIM'S RESCUE and THE COKEVILLE MIRACLE were three such stories. LOVE, KENNEDY is the latest and one that will touch the hearts of families. If you have the opportunity of seeing this in a limited run theatrical screening please do so. If not, then watch for it to show up on streaming services or on Blu-ray/DVD in the Fall of 2017. After seeing the film I purchased the book KENNEDY'S HUGS and couldn't put it down. This along with the film has made for a very uplifting experience. The film will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on Sept. 26, 2017. Now everyone in search of something uplifting will have the opportunity to experience this very special film.

I feel so sad that so many could only see thie movie through the prism of "anti-Mormon..as a catholic, I loved the whole premise. The acting was superb especially from the young and older kennedy./ I totally believed her character with that beautiful smile and her portrayal of blindness. what a shame that people still want to pidgeon hole God or His son. even the native in the bush that has never heard the word is loved and counted."born again,born better? I'll take the God that knows just how many hairs are on my head!

I seen the commercial on the TV and I really really wanted to watch that movie. I when I finally found it and watched it it threw me completely offguard. I love the story about this little girl true story by the way. I would definitely recommend it And I would recommend a box of tissues or two. Thank you to the Hansen family For such a loving and giving story my heart goes out to you amen.

Tricky, they sneak it's a Mormon family in there. Being a Christian I think this being a Mormon movie should be in the description...misleading others away from the truth of Jesus Christ. All Christian movies don't sneak it in to be misleading, you know it's faith based.

I was blown away by the love in this story. It helped me to want to be a better person and serve others. I want to be more like Kennedy. She loved fearlessly.

Wow, this movie was a real stinker. I know it's based on a true story. Several reviewers mentioned that it wasn't revealed until the end of the film that it was about a Mormon family. So I figured that would be just an afterthought. Wrong-oh! Abut 30 minutes in they go to church and I knew I was into a preachy, holy-roller movie. That when I gave up.

I never should have gone past the five-minute mark. The writing is absolutely dreadful. Just so amateurish it isn't funny. Then there's the acting. Dreadful. Every one of the so-called actors is terrible. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the narrator drones on and on like a zombie.

If you want to watch a lame, preachy movie, give this one a shot. I just couldn't handle more than 30 minutes of the pain. Ugh!

I have watched this movie a dozen times. I share it with everyone I know and encourage them to watch it as well. I just can't seem to get enough of it. No matter how many times I watch it, it always feels like the first time. Kennedy's story touched me in ways I can't even begin to describe. I hope others choose to watch this movie with an open mind because I think they may just find themselves grateful they did. Thank you Kennedy, not just for living like Christ, but for encouraging us all to do the same. We love you Kennedy! GO WOLVES!

I was kind of disappointed that Kennedy got older because I was really liking Scarlett Hazen as the bratty little girl and even Liza Brown as the concerned younger sister. What I hoped was that the whole movie would be about her, although I had looked at the brief summary and knew something terrible would happen. The young girl came back briefly in flashbacks, though.

Then Tatum Chiniquy took over and she just wasn't as good or as likable, but she sure was pretty. She too showed a strong faith but didn't have this bratty quality. Okay, maybe she's a little naughty, doing things she shouldn't, and annoying her brother. Chiniquy improved greatly later on, as she had challenges that showed how skilled an actor she really could be. What a loving girl, and what a positive effect she had on others. And what a great personality.

One very loving scene is the one where the family meets Charlee, who has the same disease as Kennedy and is almost unable to do anything and hasn't spoken.

I hated to think that people would mistreat this girl because she was so different, but even the shallow cheerleaders showed they had a good side. There was actually little negativity. Not even from the opponents in football games when Kennedy became a cheerleader. As hard as she tried, she couldn't do what they did, but she did the best she could and everyone appreciated it. And those girls were fantastic.

Everyone loved Kennedy, and why not? She loved everyone. She couldn't have a negative attitude. I am reminded of television's JJ DiMeo. Okay, he could have a bad attitude at times. That's what some might think this movie needed. She certainly had a good reason for a bad attitude. She didn't need to, because she had faith.

It is never stated that the Hansens were anything other than Christian. Some Mormon boys are shown training to do their missions, and missionaries spread their message late in the movie, but it is never stated that Jason is part of that faith. But Jason's faith is strong, whatever it is. There is no secret about why Jason feels the way he does. And he receives divine messages from time to time.

The faith message in this movie is strong and some might object to being preached to. Still, those already in the faith will see a powerful message and a wonderful example. Some who aren't might be inspired.

We do get to laugh from time to time. For example, Kennedy's behavior annoys her brother Beau, but I am referring to perfectly normal teenage girl behavior and a perfectly normal reaction from her brother.

But just be prepared. If you stay away from "This Is Us" because of what you've heard about tears, be warned this is far worse.

There are several styles of music, including at the dance. Later, there is a hymn I like performed in the way I like. Other than that, I don't share Kennedy's musical taste. The credits specifically told us what she liked, and I did not. I suppose that's not important. And there is the obligatory "praise and worship" song which doesn't have explicitly have Christian lyrics. I just can't stand that style. For some, in could be inspiring.

It's certainly worth seeing.

Excellent movie. Teach us how beautiful life is. Kennedy is an angel in earth.

Why do they have to make these movies that portray religion in such a ridiculous way. "Jesus will fix my eyes when I get to heaven"? Non religious people can't watch it or they'll gag from the ridiculousness. There's a way you can make movie with this plot and not make it super religious. The whole Christian part totally ruins and takes away from the movie. They only focus on the great and never the horrific tales that Christianity has done over and over. It's pretty ridiculous and you could easily redo this movie and not include all the crazy religion that they put into this movie. Maybe it would have done better.
