The Text

A movie with a powerful message. The message that can show anyone how powerful and dependent we have become on materialistic items. This shows how important it is to listen to our family and hear what they are saying.

The movie was a little long but I could not turn it off because I wanted to know what happened. Well written with lots of details that one could expect in every day life.

Perfect movie for teens and adults alike. So many of us have become so dependent on our communication devices that we don't realize we stopped communicating face to face with words. People need communication to learn and understand one another's point of view.

There are a number of stories within the story that the viewer may not be aware of at the time of viewing. But upon later reflection, there are many lessons that seem to come to the surface.

As one might suspect from the story title, The Text movie reminds the viewer of the dangers that might exist if texting while driving. Relationships and the complexities and heartaches that exist within them, as well as a strong thread of forgiveness, run throughout this very well-done story by Dreams Come True Candy Beard and her right-hand-man, son, Daniel Beard.

The plethora of strong actors take the viewer on the journey with them, allowing them to walk alongside and in the shoes of one or more of the characters. In this way, the viewing experience not only is enjoyable, but also an educational experience, providing topics for numerous future family discussions.

The movie is safe viewing for the entire family, other than perhaps young children who may possibly be traumatized by some events.

Well done Dreams Come True team!

The Text is a feature film with several powerful messages. Heavy topics are explored in a family friendly way that doesn't diminish the gravity of the message. From published author and award winning filmmaker Candy Beard, the Text will inspire thought provoking conversations amongst those of all ages. Award winning cast, filmed and produced in the American heartland by a cast and crew with Christian ideals, and family values.

The Text is more than just a movie, it's a warning call to action. Watch the Text... two thumbs way up!

The Text should be a must see in all Drivers Education classes and for parents to share with their kids as it's a great springboard for conversation.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was well written and directed. The actors and actresses were amazing and did their jobs very well. They did a very thorough job of making you feel "in the moment " during the movie. I know it was time consuming getting all the scenes together . My daughter played the part of young Rachel and really enjoyed "being a movie star ". She was treated with love and kindness from everyone she met during filming. I would love for her to be involved in more movies like this. It's a film that anyone would want to watch and share with friends or family. I've always loved movies that are not only entertaining but also carry life messages to the audience.
