Featured reviews
Bullying is a good topic to address but with the way things are in the world it's just gonna get worse. If people would actually listen to the advice in this movie and put down their cell phones, and really talk to one another we might just make some progress, instead of regressing.
In light of Donald Sutherland's recent passing, I would be remiss if I didn't say that his performance was the only thing worthwhile. Even though I thought that including a hippie grandpa was a lame writing choice and all his dialogue went in one ear and out the other. Overall, it was a bore fest of a film that perhaps tried to give a philosophical message on how to lead one's life or forgive others.
The movie was so unrealistic and dreary. I didn't feel any emotions and the kid actors had nothing to offer. Every performer seemed so agitated and overextended.
There was a slight glimmer of hope when it came to showcasing the young man's anxiety. Otherwise I found myself turning my head away from the screen and wondering if it made sense to turn the film off. I wish I had trusted my instincts.

The 5 stars were given because I expected more mystery and obvious miracles.
I came back because it's an excellent movie that will speak to a lot of "beliefs", including atheism.
This movie has a lot of valuable lessons in it, very suitable for schools to show this in class. This movie reminded me of the wave, very educational for kids and adolescents.

A good topic but lacking in dramatization. Donald Sutherland is good as the sympathetic grandfather.
This was an amazing family film full of family teams and me musings of a teenager in the throngs of family drama and the pains of growing up all the trials and tribulations that every teenage or about to be teenager's would identify with , I enjoyed this very much. I thought the casting of Donald Sutherland as Milton's Grandfather was brilliant he is one of my favorite actors who can play both a supper nice guy or a evil maniacal pig with equal aplomb. defiantly take your teen to see this or rent it, thank you

- Quotes
Milton Adams: If you fill your glass with hate and fear, pour in your worries about the past and future. you're probably going to be miserable. If you fill your beaker with love and caring, miracles can happen, wars can end, people can be different. That's the secret. We all can change. You just have to take meanness and turn it into gold. With that, the war is over.
