The Lamp

ahhh! One of those wonderful movies that just makes you feel good... and reminds you that the most important things in life are people and animals....you know... Love

Well written, good acting... particularly from Louis Gossett Jnr & L. Scott Caldwell but also from the two main characters and rest of the cast. Predictable? Perhaps... but didn't matter at all...

The addition of Rachel's character is inspired and the young actress who plays her does a sterling job.

The movie has a tangible "magical" quality throughout and does just what it set out to do..... remind us all to believe. Wonderful! thank you!

Touching and heartfelt movie. This one will help put hope back into the hearts of those who've lost their way. Adorable sweet and charming movie!

I saw the IMDb rating for this picture (3.9!), and almost decided not to watch the film. Thankfully, it didn't stop me. This was a pleasant surprise.

The Lamp starts out pretty slow. You have the oft-used "funeral" beginning and a family grieving, fighting, struggling to re-enter life. I was getting a little weary.

However, the story took some surprising and satisfying twists. By the end, I was smiling and pleased with the movie. You won't finish it in a bad mood.

8.5 out of 10 stars.

The Lamp is a wonderful, heart-warming movie for the whole family. . Louis Gossett Jr. is one of the greatest actors out there! I can relate to this movie I lost my son in 2007 to Leukemia he was 17. I kind of died inside and after watching this movie I can see I can not only change my life I could make someone else's life better. If you have a little imagination and want to see a good move this one is the Lamp to light your way! When you think your life has changed so drastically that nothing will ever make you happy again, you discover that God's plan, while different from yours, is always perfect if you "Just Believe"!

Right you are, Golidog (review). I think "The Lamp" has been seriously underrated so far. I selected the film (On Demand) because Meredith Salenger was in the cast. As a teen, she was so enjoyable in "The Journey of Natty Gann." Here Cameron Ten Napel (Josh) is an equally marvelous child actor, with a range of believable emotions and a totally irresistible smile. I just kept thinking, "She is sooo cute!" Jason London, Louis Gossett Jr., and Muse Watson round out the excellent cast. "The Lamp" does exactly what it is supposed to do. How wonderful to find a family movie - with no curse words or sex scenes - just a sweet message that reaffirms the power of faith and love. I really like this film.
