Outra Chance para o Amor

Dawson Gage (Jake Allyn) and his best friend London Quinn (Sarah Fisher) have a very close relationship. Then she gets hit by a truck and dies. Her parents (Lynn Collins, Scott Reeves) reveals that London was an IVF baby and there is a twin. She tracks down Andi Allen (Sarah Fisher), but her parents (Robyn Lively, Bart Johnson) have kept her origins a secret.

The premise has a creepy factor. Dawson is essentially replacing his unresolved feelings for London with her twin. It's a weird idea, but it could still work. He could encounter the twin by chance and have it a matter of the stars. Make it magical. Instead, he is tracking her down like a creepy stalker. There is a medical reason for the search, but the movie is more interested in the romancing. The issue there is that the transplant would still work after London gets killed unless her organs got squashed. Apparently, this is a Christian movie. I couldn't really tell other than some praying. There are other issues. I think a dog can tell the difference between twins. This is mostly non-sense with a dash of blah and a creepy sensibility. Otherwise, it's fine.

I'm a fan of great American family and love Christian faith based movies. In that aspect I liked that the movie was faith based and showed many Christian values. But being a faith based movie I found it frustrating areas. Like Dawson loosing his girlfriend to a car accident who he loved greatly and understandably is grief stricken but then after finding out his girlfriend had a twin adopted to another family at birth Dawson going out on a search to find his girlfriends twin and tell her she had a twin sister and different parents thst kind of turned me off.. Though his intentions were innocent it still felt almost like he was stalking his girlfriends sister and didn't think how it would affect her or her adopted families lives by interfering and revealing to his dead girlfriends sister that she had another mom and dad and a sister. Also the way it was handled by London sister when she found out by Dawson that she had a sister was not very cool. She was very angry at her adoptive parents and I guess thsts understandable but she totally blocked them.out and it was frustrating to watch how she left her adopted parents had no contact and remained distant almost like making them suffer no care for how her actions were affecting and hurting her adoptive parents while she was enjoying her life and time with her real parents and falking for Dawson. I dint know why but I just felt a bit frustrated and little upset by her actions cause I thought she should have had more thought and care to how her actions would affect her adopted parents. The adopted parents were the parents who raised her loved her and gave her a great life even her real.mom told her she needed to call them let them.know she forgave them and that she was OK but she let her adopted parents suffer with uncertainty and sadness for most of movie while she was having a great time with her real parents and especially with dawson.. thst turned me off the most and made the movie substandard for me. Im.glad Dawson finally told her she needed to think of her adopted folks and go home and I'm glad she finally listened to her real mom and Dawson and did go home to her family thst raised snd loved her all those years from when she was just a baby. Other than that the movie was nice sweet and had some good scenes but I just kept getting frustrated everything I saw how much her adopted parents were hurting and she allowed that to go on way to long.

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.

With all the turmoil going on in this world we now live in, it was quite refreshing to see a nice change of pace with this movie . It's heartfelt touching on love, tragedy and faith. It is a nice combination of the three. There is definitely a religious Christian vibe to this flick, but it in no way force feeds an agenda. I personally enjoyed the Christian aspect but for those who are not interested in it, it should in no way interfere with the overall theme of the movie. What's very impressive is that the movie is considered "low budget" but by no means was it apparent. Highly recommend spending a few hours watching to escape the reality of everyday life.
