    A great family movie that shows perseverance

    Pendelum Swings is a movie about a real person and the blows that life can swing at you. It also shows very opposite ways a person can handle those things. What a great message it sends. This movie, from what I understand, was produced with very little funding but that does not take away from the important aspects of the movie. Many people volunteered their time, locations and props to make this movie with the hopes that it would encourage others who have or will deal with life's many challenges. I very highly recommend if you get a chance to see this movie, then you need to do so. You will laugh and cry but you will be encouraged.

    Powerful Movie

    I just have to say this movie is the Best Christian based film I have seen in a longtime. It took a lot of wonderful people to volunteer their time to make this happen.. It hits home to many many people and it touches each and everyone that see's this film.. I have heard so many people leave the theater in AWWW over this film.. There are funny parts, sad parts,real day to day views in a marriage and it keeps your attention thru the whole movie.. It took a lot of people to make this happen. Even with it being a low budget film you would think it was made by someone in Hollywood the actors,the script,the props, all the volunteer's,the actors and it couldn't have happened with out the wonderful Director Bill Rahn, Producer Amy Rahn & Adam Melton.. The actors were amazing to work with,the cast and crew were just as amazing...I would like to say to the Director Bill Rahn, Producers Amy Rahn & Adam Melton absolutely a JOB WELL DONE!!! It is a MUST SEE!!!!

    This movie is a real inspiration.

    There are may things I like about this movie. The first being, it was dramatic without using profanity, or sexual innuendo every five minutes. Second, it's set in modern day so you can relate to the events and struggles of the characters. Third, the outcome was unexpected; a welcomed change from the movies I've seen before. I hate movies that use the same old tired formulas. Where you know whats going to happen before it does. The acting was great. I was really drawn into the story. There were funny parts, sad parts, dramatic, "on the edge of my seat" parts, I really enjoyed it. And the fact that it was made by volunteers with no budget makes me a witness to a true miracle of a movie.

      The first time Adam Melton and Vanessa Ore met was as he was strangling her in the courtroom scene. They had not even spoke to each other before that scene was shot.
