Great message in a flawed story
1 June 2021
Well, this movie was likely more of a 3 or 4 in terms of an overall score however it's such a feel good message that it ups the score a bit in my book. And, that message isn't that it's necessarily about God but that it's a good message in a time where society needs to hear these good messages more than ever.

The young girl who is at the heart of the story does a great job with the script she's dealt. Up beat, sweet kid that reminds me a lot of Hayden Panettiere as a child actress. Mira Sorvino, Peter Coyote and Kevin Sorbo also do a great job, all things considered. I believe the scenery is all Oklahoma which was nice.

I'm a fairly agnostic person regarding religion but I have to say that we absolutely need more mainstream movies that have good moral messages about life and this one doesn't disappoint. It's obviously a lower budget movie that lacks a bit in the story line, directing, editing and overall budget BUT you leave the movie taking more from it than you give. And, that's fairly rare in 2021. Is it a 6? Probably not but the message is a 10!
