Trust Fund

I kept waiting for it to get goo, but it simply never did. The acting was terrible. The plot was totally predictable. Ugh! How do movies like this get financing?

Wasn't sure at first but as the movie progressed I really started enjoying the film. One family left just a few minutes in but they really should have stayed. The storyline also got better as the movie moved along. Several times I thought the movie was over but then it kept on getting better. I hope enough people in Kansas City watch this film so they will take it nationwide. If you're from KC you will recognize many of the landmarks they filmed in front of. Was surprised at how many actors I knew of or had seen in other movies before. Some parts kept us hoping for more story line of a couple of the characters. Had it moved along a little quicker in the beginning maybe they could have. All in all we enjoyed this film, especially since it was mostly filmed in Kansas City, although if you're not from the area you would have no idea it was.

It was an interesting twist on the prodigal son from the Bible, but somewhere along the way, I just kept thinking that the older sister reminded me so much of Elsa from Frozen.....and now I can't unsee it. The lead character is obviously Anna, her roommate is Olaf.....you get the picture. I kept watching wondering when she was going to burst into song, but sadly, it never happened.

All joking aside, the move is ok. It takes a very long time of getting to a conclusion. The lead character definitely did not deserve how her father treated her, but it shows how God's grace is given even when we don't deserve it.

The acting was very good, the story had merits, but there are just some things bothering me about it. I really wanted to love this movie, especially being that it has Christian values, but I just couldn't. The improbabilities of some of the story line (I don't give spoilers, so I will leave that up to you to see) bothered me and I just couldn't reconcile that. I wanted to love the romantic end bits but it felt forced. All that said, if you are looking for a fair movie that is family friendly, give it a try.

The bottom line is a big 0 !

I must state the first 35 minutes of this story (I'm not going to label it a 'movie') is rather interesting and kept my attention. BUT after that all the money spent on this disaster was a pitiful waste. It could have been put to better use buying food for an animal shelter.

The character Reese Donahue (who's Miss Wildthing in the beginning) becomes little miss goody thing and the syrup in this flick just keeps getting thicker and thicker. It's a hairpin twist from 'I don't care' to 'All I want to do is be good'. The only reason I stuck with this story was to find out what was to become of Milo. And it's a long wait for that and you still don't really know.

Awful!
