Undeserved

I wish I could rave about this movie because it explores important subjects. Unfortunately it does this with all the usual characters doing exactly what you'd expect. You have the troubled and yearning teen, the well meaning but off the mark aunt, the overburdened and messed up other relatives etc. The acting is perfectly passable and if you read my other reviews you know I can overlook films with small budgets. This just doesn't quite do what it could.

The only thing undeserved here is the torture I just went through watching this garbage.

I would say the typical "this looks like it was made by a second year film student," but that would be insulting to film students.

Ok, let's be honest, this is a "faith and inspirational" film, faith films aren't for everyone and that's fine. I'm a non-religious person who typically does not watch this type of movie but it sounded like a good story so I gave it a go. In my opinion, this is a solid film. Camera and sound did a good job, acting is good, story is very good. If you can get over the obvious religious overtones and just watch it for the story, you will probably enjoy it. There are some really important issues addressed here (not just the "Jesus Fixes Everything" message typical of faith films) and I liked that. 7/10 stars because it is a little cheezy and predictable for the first few minutes, I almost turned it off but I really wanted to see where they were going with the story.

You need to know what your getting into with this movie. I like it. It's a faith film... so if you want to see stuff blow up.... watch something else. If you want to reflect on how good God is to us, this is for you.

An engaging film that portrays the fight of a teenage girl. An interesting storyline that will keep you guessing.
