Runnin' from My Roots

Good music. Good acting. Good story. Janelle Arthur, an American Idol finalist, is a pleasure to watch on the big screen. Her singing is fantastic and the title song, RUNNING FROM MY ROOTS, is one that gets stuck in your head. Head over to Amazon and rent this one for the family.

Sadly this movie is a real flat liner. Characters are shallow, uninteresting, and there is no arc. Story is bland. As far as bringing God into this, I can only say trite, trite, trite. This script should have been turned down for lack of...just about everything.

This film's investors and their relatives or friends. This movie is actually so badly scripted, directed and acted. A weak storyline, got nothing important enough to say, I just saw some bimbos and weak male actors who acted just like some electricians or plumbers came to your house to fix something, they don't have any passion for their jobs, just do what their company's dispatcher assigned the jobs to do.

This is such a completely unnecessary movie, more like a gossipy tabloid story, so hollow and so spiritless. My wife tried to watch it for about 10 minutes, then simply bowed out. She said to me: "I don't know what's the purpose of making this movie, my eyes are watching it, but my mind is elsewhere. It's such an uninteresting movie even worse than those made by Lifetime Channel and on par with the Hallmark movies".

Nothing stands out in this movie.The storyline is predictable, the actors not great and it fails to keep your interest.Not recommended.

A little light on character development. A family friendly film with some very good music.
