    Very well done!!!

    I enjoyed this movie a lot. Im a Christian. I enjoy most Christian movies even though they are usually very low budget because I love the clean heart-felt movies with a feel-good message. I like to be provoked to think about decisions and the real purpose in life. I like to think about what really matters. Society really doesn't promote anything important anymore, so I look to Christian movies for that. Having said that, this movie is really well-done. I thought the actors/actresses did well, and the storyline was good and I was engaged the whole time. I really enjoyed all of it, all the way through to the end. I don't want to give any plots away, but I will say the ending was a surprise. I thought I knew where it was going, but I wasn't expecting that at all.

    A truly excellent movie.

    It was a pleasant delight to have seen this movie. It is apparently filmed on a low budget, but it is very well-made and the script is perfect.

    I was only wondering when it would turn out to be a Christian movie and this finally happened in the last part of the movie. It was then just a bit too spontaneous and felt more like injected as afterthought (what it certainly was not).

    It is a very beautiful story with a sudden and perfect ending, which leaves the viewer pondering about the essential message of the movie: do not murder innocent babies or embryos.

    We never know what THEOS has prepared and what consequences such an act could have.

    real love doesn't mean loving loveable.

    Life changes everything is a poignant drama movie directed by Corey Paul . The movie explores complexity of life choices and their far -reaching consequences . The film begins at a private car while a young boy named Eric (played by Jeff Joslin ) insists that his girl friend (played by Charis Jeffers ) to make a life - altering decision regarding abortion . He says" having a baby can change everything ." the movie unfold through series of flashback and present moment scenes. And eventually it focuses on Zac Ryan (played by David Garrett ) . Who is a specialist doctor conducting a research to find a drug with the minimal side effect to cure cancer .as it turns out his trial patient is his biological father .

    Some parts of movie ponder the viewers in identifying and predicting the outcomes . Although actors and actress played their roles well, the film has come in for different reviews .some people like me believe that this could have developed deeply while others appreciate its heartfelt storytelling and performances of the cast .

    This film appeals to those seeking contemplation about life's complexities and provides opportunities for viewers to reflect on their own life decisions.

    Comparing this film with peaceful warrior i have recently watched ,both of them explore significance of life choices and their consequences and it also glimpses introspection and personal growth but through different scenes. One focusing on internal fundamental change through mentorship while the other fixates on familial relationship.

    I ONLY SAW THE LAST HALF OF THIS MOVIE BUT IT WAS STILL STELLAR

    I had to review this because even tho I only caught the movie half-way thru, I and a friend were overcome with what we saw.

    First there was this cute dude who we assumed was a research scientist. He felt he'd found a cure for cancer. Next we know, he's speaking before a review board trying to convince them to approve his drug. A woman spokesman says no, she feels it's not safe because he can't prove it doesn't harm any good tissue --ironic because chemo harms good tissue but we don't see THAT being a hindrance to it being used---- ANYWAY, she turns him down. He storms out, vowing out loud that he still plans to continue his research. She yells back that she will shut him down if he does.

    Scene changes -- It's his dad's house. Son apologizes for being angry at him -which I guess was because dad left him and his mom--boy, am sure glad I read prior review as this was in the first half of film we missed. Son says he has bad news, and tells dad son's serum was turned down. Dad is downcast. But son promises not to stop. Next we know, son and dad are in a lab setting, with dad being injected with son's serum. We find out he has cancer, and his son is determined to save him, no matter the cost.

    Scene changes again. Scientist and girlfriend are out walking, He gets down on his knee and proposes - she says yes- what a CUTE couple-yay. He then tells dad about it and they agree to use the dad's farm for the wedding. But something happens then. I can't tell you everything or you won't want to see it. But you should. It's both phenomenal and heart-wrenching, but it's a GOOD heart-wrenching. It's an AHA moment. It turns what you think you know on its ear.

    I am ordering the movie on DVD from Daystar: 1-888-755-0156.

    My friend was jumping up and down at the end, and said she thought this movie should be playing on regular TV stations- I agreed- but that would indeed be a red-letter day.

    My advice: Go find this and order it.

    Life is made up of choices

    This Christian based film is actually a thought provoking vehicle. You don't have to be a born again to know that life is made up of choices and those we make can have a ripple effect on us and all around us.

    David Garrett is our title character and he's a promising treating and research oncologist. He thinks he's found a way to cure the stuff although I can't vouch for scientific theories presented. What happens is that his first guinea pig pateint turns out to be the father played by Jeff Joslin who abandoned him and his mother and Garrett never knew him.

    There's also a romantic angle with Garrett and Kendra Carelli. And there is a heart tugging performance from Matt Godson as a child cancer patient.

    If you think you know what happens, you don't. There's a big old joker hidden in this plot. He's who makes you think.
