Freddie Stevenson's inspirational book Trials to Triumph heads to the big screen. It's the tale of the highs and lows of Stevenson's life and a reminder that everyone stumbles from time to time, but it is how we rise again that matters. It's such a powerful and strong film with testimonials from famed individuals who believe in Stevenson's message. Give your heart a little lift and spend some time watching this movie with your family.

TRIALS TO TRIUMPH was directed by Dan Ratner, Greg Romano, and Misa Garcia. This inspirational documentary based on Stevenson's Best-Selling memoir features interviews with Freddie Stevenson, Maurice Benard, Dasia Torres, Neno Torres, Tyrell Lyons, Tony Gaskins, Dr. Dan Ratner, Delvin Breaux, Terris Stevenson, Sylvia Stevenson, and Ryan Green. It was produced by Dan Ratner, Greg Romano, and Freddie Stevenson.

This movie for the most part is just alright. The funny parts are all showen in the trailors so you are only missing a few minor things. Brittany Murphy takes a leap with this movie, unfortunately a bad leap. She doesn't have to reach for this role at all and Kutcher, although he may be cute, has no pizzazz on camera. The two may be a couple in real life but as a couple on screen, caput!

This movie is cast with so many captivating and amazing actors it is hard to see how it could go wrong! Anne Franks' heartfelt story is told in this movie and it is told as if you are experiencing all of her horrors right alongside her and her family. Hannah Taylor-Gordon plays a cute and heroic Anne and Ben Kingsly plays her noble and wise father Auto Frank. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie because of its' touching significance and its' sad historic references. I would not say that this movie was completely without fault. The actors mostly all speak with English accents and as well know Anne's family was Dutch so they could not possibly have English accents. Some parts of the story are laughable with the tale of Anne going through puberty before the annex and during. Her coping with getting breasts, going through her puberty and most importantly finding love. I reccommend watching this movie again because I think it would be a great classic to anyone's collection.
