One of those movies you cry on. It's like lump is stuck on your throat. Very emotional, very sad movie with beautiful end. A very special movie, you will not forget for a long time. Deserve more than 10, and yes, it's worth watching.
The movie had me gripped from the beginning, right to the end! All the actors did incredible work bringing Frank's story to life! I was blessed to see it in my hometown and everyone was moved in the theater. The movie will touch many lives just like "Make a Wish" has! Frank Shankwitz's legacy now lives on in his movie too as it encourages us that no matter what we have been through, we all can make a difference!
It astounds me the lack of compassion and human kindness in the world right now and some of these 1 or 2 out of ten mean reviewers just prove it. This 1 star means it is the worst movie you have ever seen and this is certainly nothing like that;
Great story, well acted and great music along with a fair amount of atmosphere; especially in the flashbacks make this one of the better dramas out this year.
I have to admit I did have a tear in my eye on more than one occasion; big girls blouse mode lol so in my experience when a film can evoke emotion such as that then it cannot be that bad. I rarely give anything more than a 5 or 6 out of ten these days as there are so few movies that merit anything above that but this is a solid 8/10.

Iv never put a review on any movie in my life, but after watching this movie, I feel I need to tell u to totally ignore nebar - y khet review, their obviously narcissistic and looking for attention, sad really. Brilliant movie in my opinion, but that's my opinion, well worth the watch.

Juan Delgadillo: I want to help you. And it's okay for you to accept my help. 'Cause when people need help, you give it to 'em.
Frank Shankwitz: But how? I'm just a kid.
Juan Delgadillo: You're not just anything. You're, you! You can help people. Remember, if someone needs help, you give it to 'em.
