    INSPIRATIONAL

    Once again the director of this movie brought issues from real life into this picture and into your home. At first I thought these girls should be in juvenile hall and receive some tough love. But instead they are left to God. To see these girls go from one extreme to another was truly very emotional. It shows the miracles God can do if you just believe and put your faith and life in to God. As always the faith in God shows that the director truly loves God and is putting the word out that all you have to do is believe. As always this directors movies are in my collection. I have shared all of them with family and friends.

    Excellent storyline and very entertaining

    Such a great movie...the story follows teens with real life issues, very relatable, easy to follow and at times very emotional. I Highly recommend watching this film, especially with your teens!! There are a lot of coachable moments that can be used to help your teen through real life struggles and challenges. The issues also relate to adults though and how you can best work through challenges that your teen may be having. This film is not a high budget film but is still extremely well done. The story is top notch, great directing and even though the actors are not big names they still do a great job. Check out this film!!

    A must see faith based drama

    This is my first time with an IMDb account. I have been a long time fan of Dreams Come True Films. So I plan to review all of their films that I have seen. I am a resident of the Wabash Valley (in Indiana) where most or all of their films were produced.

    Writer, Candy Beard and Director & Cinematographer Daniel Beard make an incredible team. Let's start with the drama A Second Chance. It is a fantastic film that tells the story of 3 teenage girls from the wrong side of the tracks. This film is full of twists and turns. You'll laugh and you'll cry so get your popcorn, a drink and a box of tissues and get ready to enjoy one of the best movies to come from the independent film world. Fun fact, this is a multi award winning film, and I highly recommend it.

    A film with conviction and heart

    No, this film did not operate on a big budget or have nationally known talent in the film. Yes, this film has real people facing real challenges and dealing with real issues in life. You will see some really "stand out" talent, very well done cinematography, a story that communicates well the struggles people face and how they receive deliverance and hope in their lives. No one is so low that God cannot bring them up and out of the darkness. It's a really good film that the family can see and benefit from. On an added note it would also be a really good movie for youth groups to see as there are wonderful lessons that can be learned from "A Second Chance".

    Take a chance

    Take a chance to see A Second Chance. This is the story of misguided youth, overwhelmed parents, actions that deserve consequences, and The Grace that turns it all around.

    I would show this movie to every young person trying to navigate this weird condition called life.

    A cautionary tale about, pride and poor choices. With stepping stones along the way for those kids that learn from others mistakes.

    If you are; a parent, a grandparent, a young person, a pastor, a teacher, an aunt, an uncle, struggling to fit in, struggling to figure it out, wondering if it gets better, wanting to see redemption instead of ruin, in a pickle, out of favor, running scared, full on ferrel, or just figuring it out, this is your movie!

    Seriously, this one's For You!

    I can say with absolute certainly, that this film was made with you in mind.

    I happen to know that every frame was specifically mapped out to touch you, to teach you, to reach you and to help you see a way out of whatever predicament you may find yourself in. To bring awareness and hope into your mind and let it trickle down to your heart.

    Dreams Come True production company is in it for the Truth. They have a mission to bring quality storytelling through excellence not expense. They truly want to support you in your life journey by telling stories that impact and make you not only think about yourself, but how you can rise up and make a difference even after everyone else has given up on you.

    Please support them back by checking out this poignant and personal film!
