Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace

I watched this film with my 8 year old daughter and we really enjoyed it. The main cast are very good, especially Scarlett who is just adorable and really carries the film. However the supporting cast in the prison, hospital, etc are terrible. It's like they have never acted before, I don't understand how there could be such a contrast and it's a shame because it let's down a wonderful film.

Whether you enjoy this film depends on your ability to ignore the (let's be honest) pretty awful manipulative and syrupy script and soundtrack and focus on the film's message.

It's not a good film in many ways - it's not remotely realistic and works on clichéd tropes. Lucy's pathetic cough made me smile though, the creepy grandpa who seemed to be pining to be back on the ranch, the security guy who appears to oblivious to everything around him and my favourite - Bart who had been polishing the same square of flooring for several years!

But we despite the formulaic offerings, it does make you think about the innocence of children, the bond of families, hope, faith and forgiveness. It would be great to be everyone's friend, wouldn't it?

Alas that little souls such as Lucy Shimmers do not make a difference in this way - but they do on a smaller scale.

So - if you want a proficient and skilful film then you will not get it here but if you are prepared to just go with the sentiment, then go on - have a little weep and offer up some thanks that love comes in so many forms. Films are often a fantasy based on truth and so I am pleased to have met Lucy Shimmers. You might care to meet her too.

Very touching movie. It touched my heart. I should be kinder....

A bit of a slow start and the acting is a bit mechanical at first, but little Lucy is adorable and the end of the movie was very moving. A beautiful reminder that although God does not necessarily saves us from pain, He can use all things to do good. A Christian Christmas feel good movie with a sad yet heartwarming end.
