Featured review
This is an inspirational true story movie. It's very well acted. I highly recommend it. Since it's PG you can take your children with you without worrying about R-rated graphic scenes. What a relief.
The audience was applauding at the end, with good reason.
Rickey's father is shown transitioning from a good father to a great father. The father wants what's best for Rickey but makes mistakes. The father is willing to acknowledge his mistakes both to himself and publicly. It's a faith-based movie. G-d rescues the family and gives them a house and a job as a pastor for the father.
We have a home run here!
