Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace

I watched this film with my 8 year old daughter and we really enjoyed it. The main cast are very good, especially Scarlett who is just adorable and really carries the film. However the supporting cast in the prison, hospital, etc are terrible. It's like they have never acted before, I don't understand how there could be such a contrast and it's a shame because it let's down a wonderful film.

"Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace" is a heartwarming film that beautifully promotes hope and faith. The young actress in the main role delivers an outstanding performance that will tug at your heartstrings. This touching movie left me in tears, reminding us of the power of belief and the beauty of innocence. Is it the best movie I've ever seen? No. Does it warm your heart? Yes! It made me wholeheartedly believe in the power of friendship, hope and faith. Yes the acting from the adults isn't the best by any means, the little girl outshined the lot of them. But if you like a movie that tugs on your heartstrings, give it a watch!

This is not a blockbuster of a movie, in fact it is small and simple with actors who have no big screen credentials. But none of that matters because of the meaningful story. It is about Lucy, a special five year old girl who gets sick a few weeks before Christmas. She has a pneumonia infection that proves to be very difficult. While in the hospital she befriends a man who is incarcerated but needing a kidney.

I see one review calls this a "sad sad sad" movie and I suppose you could look at it that way. But I prefer to look at it as a "happy happy happy" story of redemption and how caring more for others can make great things happen.

The little girl is really good in the role of Lucy, the story was written and the movie directed by her grandpa, no doubt was also the reason for the focus on Lucy and her deceased grandpa in the movie.

My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library. It is faith-based all the way and I suppose that will turn off some viewers.

Very touching movie. It touched my heart. I should be kinder....

A bit of a slow start and the acting is a bit mechanical at first, but little Lucy is adorable and the end of the movie was very moving. A beautiful reminder that although God does not necessarily saves us from pain, He can use all things to do good. A Christian Christmas feel good movie with a sad yet heartwarming end.
