Two Thumbs Way Up!
2 November 2006
This film is "A Beautiful Mind" mets "Good Will Hunting"! It seems like it may have been a low budget film, but isn't that how Matt Damon and Ben Affleck got their start? And then they won Oscars for it. I truly enjoyed this movie which touched me in a deep way. The characters and dialogue were believable and the story inspiring. I loved seeing the relationships between the husband, Doug, and his wife, Abby, grow and deepen. I also enjoyed seeing the transforming love of a father for his son.

Even though there are Christian themes, I think anyone (Christian or non-Christian) would be able to relate to these complex characters, their struggles, and the profoundly human story at the heart of it. I highly recommend it. It also is a family-friendly movie. I would be able to sit next to children in the theater or in my home and feel good about the fact that they're watching it with me. Now, how often can you say that about a movie that's not Disney or rated G? Check it out!
