Kimber Myers

Los Angeles Times

Kendrick's film eventually finds its legs in the final stretch, with an emotionally effective conclusion that might persuade even the cynics to its cause.

TheWrap

Scene after rambling scene, everyone in front of the camera spells out the script's messaging with verbose, bold-faced statements that do nothing to improve the overall quality of the cast's efforts. Overacting runs rampant.

The whole is cheap, cheesy, and, to put it charitably, churchy.

Rated: 1/4

There is someone for everyone to identify with in this film. Married couples, parents, kids, teens, grandparents are all represented...

Tim R Beautiful movie with heart. Great message about loving God and loving yourself to believe you are enough and you are loved, cared for and wanted. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/20 Full Review Della One of the best-made and inspired movies I've seen! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/20 Full Review Ronnie S Modern movie as powerful as Lee Harper's, To Kill a Mocking Bird. Explodes the full magnitude of what we thought we know about Family identity, Spiritual growth and Individual self awareness. Socio cultural idealistic themes allow for self reflection and remind us it's no time like the present to make a change. Tomorrow is no promise is it even real? Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/27/19 Full Review Lora It was really hopeful loving caring movie on redemption. & winning! My husband and I loved it! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/19 Full Review Christine C It was a phenomenal movie motivating and inspiring about how God works in our lives I loved this movie. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/19 Full Review Robert J Williams It was just a very good movie. The theme was very nice and it was very heart warming. It was also a tear jerker.
