There was so much wrong with this movie. Christian movies are like shows in the '80s. They have to deliver a message. It really just ends up being preachy and overdone.
Things that were wrong. There's obvious tension between the widow and her MIL that is never really explored. But in the end, the widow is the one who apologizes. Maybe the widow had a right to not be warm & fuzzy with her MIL. She seems all too eager to throw her DIL under the bus, criticize her, and take her daughter from her. Then there's the church. If the widow was an active member of a church when she lost her hubby, they should have rallied around her during her time of need. Church people are to be the hands and feet of Jesus. You don't wait for people to ask for help. Use your eyes. This was a small town. Let's face it. They must have known or had some idea of her financial situation. Then there's the fact that the military takes care of its own with death benefits. So there should have been no reason for her to lose the house in the first place. And the whole NASCAR thing was just lame. Sprinkle the Christian music throughout, and you just have a really lame movie that is preachy. I would not watch this movie again nor would I recommend it unless the person I was recommending it to really like these kinds of movies.
