The Promise

From the beginning to end the film is amazing. There is no other way to put it. You get a feel right away how much heart and soul was poured into making this nearly a decade old project come to life! The leads were drenched with professionalism! Full of friendly and very funny laughable moments! Highly recommend anyone and everyone to watch this film! I can assure you will not be disappointed!

This is another great film from the mother and son filmmaking team in the Wabash Valley. They premiered this rom-com at a local church and it was open to the public so I attended with some close friends. We all loved it. We literally laughed out loud, but there were times in which we cried too (which makes the best kind of movie!) Bonus: They got an acting icon to make an appearance in the film. He also spent hours on the red carpet, meeting and greeting with guests, signing autographs and posing for photos with everyone before the premiere. Even he (Ken Kercheval) loved the movie. I heard him say so with my own ears after the lights came back on and before an award ceremony was held.

Being from the town in which this film was made, it was a real treat to see film locations that we recognized. The lead actors had so much chemistry which made the film very fun to watch. I tried to put myself in "Mackenzie's" place and tried to imagine what it would be like if my grandfather had pulled the shenanigans that Grandpa Miller pulled on his granddaughter.

The comedy in this film was hilarious but clean, which I appreciated. I can watch this film with a group of family members and never feel ashamed or uncomfortable.

Bruce Royer was adorable as the mischievous Grandpa Miller and he is worthy of a best acting award, or at the very least, a nomination, in my opinion. Beautiful scores, realistic writing, funny actors and great cinematography make this independent film (which BTW doesn't look or feel independent at all) make this a MUST SEE movie. It would make a great "first date" movie to see!

The Promise. Is a very well thought out, well written, and wonderful feel good walk down the road of Mackenzie and George Miller's life in a season of time which has one Miller haunted by memories of the past and being afraid to move forward with his future, whule the other Miller just wants a chance to balance the life she has with the life she dreams of. While Mackenzie and her Grandpa George are all each other have after the passing of her parents and her grand mother, she longs for a "normal" life like every other woman dreams of from the time they are little girls: to find her Mr. Right and live happily ever after. But its a bit more complicated than that since Mackenzie made a promise to her grandmother before she passed away to always tske care of and watch over her grandfather. Makimg it worse yet is the fact that Grandpa George would do anything to keep Mackenzie to himself. Together they live, love, laugh, cry and try to find the common ground necessary to survive between the Promise and happily ever after.

This film is a very clean rom-com that will keep you laughing through the whole thing. It is so fresh and funny but, it also touches on real life situations that can happen. It also teaches respect and the importance of making and keeping promises.

Mybmom and I had the honor of being extras on thos film. During a restaurant scene we were the extras in the booth behind the 2 main leads and it was so hard to keep a straight face and not laugh while we were in action. The main characters meshed so well together and kept everyone smiling and laughing. Watching the completed film was the best. If you haven't seen this film yet, you are missing out. Candy J. Beard and her son Daniel Beard make an amazing team and their films just get better and better. That shows in the many awards they have won for this and other films.

We also wete honored to meet the amazing Ken kirchival (known for the Dallas series) who is originally from Clinton, Indiana. He was so down to earth.

I loved this movie! I loved the storyline and the actors did a great job! This family friendly film is very funny and very heartwarming. This film teaches you about the relationship between a grandpa and granddaughter. How much love a grandpa has for his granddaughter and has her best interest at heart even if he is a little mischievous , lol.

This comedy film is very funny and relatable to what actually happens in real life. The writer did a fantastic job telling this story. The producers and cinematographer did a wonderful job putting this together. I know it takes a lot of work and this film was done very well.
