The Review

This is somewhat a ‘Christian’ movie, but not to fret, it’s for everyone.

Although this movie has its moment, I felt the director was just using too much of the sappy scenes, that it got annoying to me.

The story of overcoming cancer is one that many patients, family members, friends and anyone involved with can relate to, but the script could be tighter.

It was sloppy on many instances that I find it got distracted by its sub-plots.

Still it’s a watchable flick as it made me look at my own struggle in life.

The Good

• Endearing characters
• Good movie to teach kids about instilling morals and values

The Bad

• It should tone down on the religion, and focus more on the story
