Someone Like You

You'll most likely enjoy or dislike this movie. If you are a believed, then go see it! It's refreshing to watch a movie that has Christian values infused throughout along with no profanity or violence.

Even if you are not a Christian or do not believe there is a God, I encourage you to check out this movie. It's a cute love story. The scenery is beautiful and the movie proceeds at a good pace.

I cried at different times during the movie, which show the storyline is believable and compelling.

The movie industry is filled with demonic and violent movies that are harmful to your soul. Fill your mind and heart with a movie that is touching, positive, and enjoyable.

Now, I was already a fan of the book, Someone Like You, and was very excited to see it come to life. It was a well done movie and I'm so thankful for the Christian theme that was throughout. I appreciate the team that made this movie and showed again that it doesn't have to have explicit things to make a good movie. I do feel like the book was better because things were able to be more developed, but that is usually true for any book made into a movie. I am hopeful that many people see this movie and enjoy it. If you go to the website you can actually can get a movie ticket for free from donations if you are unable to buy one. Thank you Karen Kingsbury for how you unashamedly give praises to God and your books point others to Him!! Praying this movie does the same.

Romance. Christian. Cheesy but sweet! Not for everyone, but if you enjoy Hallmark flicks (and Christian films), you'll probably enjoy this IMHO. Really liked Jake Allyn (as Dawson) He said a lot with his eyes and body language, and he's adorable. I wish the writing, directing and acting were stronger, but it got a little better as it went along. And there were definitely plot holes, especially in regards to HIPAA (releasing health info to others). This is adapted from a Karen Kingsbury book (Christian author) and this is the first of her books that she produced under her own production company. I think the director/co-writer, and some other people that contributed to the film, are related to Mrs. Kingsbury as well. Definitely wouldn't give it a 9 or 10, but it doesn't deserve a 1 or 2 either IMHO! (5 from my hubby, 6 from me...but I do enjoy Hallmark movies...LOL)

I personally loved this movie. I loved the book and thought I'm a firm believer of book over movie this movie did a wonderful job of making me evaluate that view. The actors were great and the directing was phenomenal. I loved Andi and Dawson and thought their love story was beautiful. The family dynamics were real, raw, and very well done. It was so cool to see things in my own hometown and the scenes from Smith Lake were beautiful. All of the music was wonderfully chosen. It is the tiniest bit fast paced on parts that needed to be drawn out. Yet, way too slow on parts that needed to be faster. Regardless, a wonderful movie with the cutest dog: Toby!! This is a refreshing clean movie that is a definitely go see!!

To God be the Glory.

Yes, this is a mildly faith-based movie but it doesn't pound religion towards the viewer. It is clean, no bad language, no guns, no sex, all of which makes a refreshingly entertaining movie. Some of the dialog is substandard, some of the acting substandard, but that doesn't really matter in this story. My wife and I enjoyed it, at home on DVD from our public library.

The lead is Sarah Fisher as London Quinn, she is a happy and curious young lady, living at home to save money so that she can build her dream home. It helps that her friend from childhood is Jake Allyn as architect Dawson Gage. It is clear that he would like more from the relationship but she treats him almost like a brother.

A tragedy happens and it comes to light that London's mom and dad had a second invitro embryo that may or may not have become a brother or sister of London's some 20+ years ago, so much of the story involves that hunt for a possible sibling.

We found some things puzzling and realize that, in real life, what they did would be difficult, but hey, it is a fictional story so we just went with it.

Interestingly to us, Lynn Collins who plays London's mother Louise Quinn, grew up near us and went to Klein High School, just a few miles away. She doesn't have the recognition of many 40-something actresses but she is very good in the role.

Also Sarah Fisher is an accomplished songwriter and singer and does a short duet with her dad in the movie, but if one were to look her up online would find out her grandmother was an opera singer and young Ms Fisher does a rendition of "Think of Me" from "Phantom" and she does it better than some of the singers who have starred as Christine.
