Sam and Elvis

Sam and Elvis is an inspiring story, clearly illustrating the true meaning of family. The story takes place in the south though it could take place anywhere throughout the United States.

Themes of foster care and adoption woven through the story will win your heart. As the story goes on you really begin to like the characters. The young woman is empowered by her newly found family to make tough decisions.

I really like the dogs at the end with the reference to animal shelters. Well done.

The subtle nod to military tradition in the cemetery scene was appreciated and helped define Larry's character. I'm sure not everyone understood it but for some of us it was touchdowns explained Larry's relationship to Molina and Bud. Pen url did a nice job with the character.

Compelling story about a serious topic. More conversations need to take place regarding Foster Care and Adoption. The characters are realistic. You grow emotionally attached to them. You laugh and cry.

Nice message about family and learning to love. Based on a stage play so there isn't a lot of action but the characters hold your attention.

I loved this film. It is heartwarming, funny and addresses themes of foster care and adoption. Sam and Elvis shows us the real meaning of family and it's leading women are strong, resilient and loving characters. A great movie to watch with the whole family!
