    Wonderful Movie Recommend

    Absolutely loved this film it had so many educational moments, I laughed, I cried, I swear I felt every emotion the characters were portraying, I really loved James character at first thinking he was maybe going to be a bully he was absolutely hilarious and very positive.. I would recommend playing this in a school setting. I loved that it was a happy ending for everyone, we were able to see the vulnerabilities of these characters and really deeply understand them without getting boring or extra long did a great job putting this together the message in this movie hits home and I will definitely have hope for as long as I live.

    Weaknessness and strength

    Seems this film was able to overcome some of the common pitfalls of low budget and use of first time actors by its great directing and soundtrack. The director knows these things and it's beautiful to watch him somehow magically take what otherwise could have been a fatal weakness and leverage it to create a very moving and compassionate story. Except for one character, who we are not meant to like (the mean dishwasher who did a great job as unlikable), the movie makes you love each character. The length at first seemed long but as the movie unfolds the longer length is used to explore each character more, making them of course more lovable.

    Highly recommend giving this Indy flick a chance.

    A Very inspirational Topic

    This movie was very well put together. I love how it shows the stages of bullying and how you can over come each situation. This movie caught my family and friends attention. I even received a personal review yesterday from my neighbor who also enjoyed the film. Great job on this.
