This is how excellent film making should be
Breast cancer, quadriplegia, awful mothers, betraying boyfriends, hardly an ideal list of themes for an endearing romantic film is it? Yet if ever there was a film to put the lie to the sorry reputation Christian film-making has (rightly or wrongly) earned, this is it. A moving and thought-provoking film for those of any faith or no faith to be touched by. The scripting is awesome, the acting is under-played yet deep and convincing, there isn't too much music - what there is, is well-chosen and well timed. And don't try to guess the conclusion, you'll be wrong! Several times I was trying to think the plot ahead, and it surprised me each time with something better! The Kelly's Filmwork team deserve all the recognition they can get for such a brilliant production (the 'Stranger' series is great too). May this film grow and grow, deservedly so. Several times I wanted to leap through the screen to be part of the action.
Not what I expected at all ....
I'm not sure what I expected from this film when I read the synopsis but what I got wasn't it. It's a lovely, quirky film about despair that turns into hope. Yes, it's a Christian film but it's not in your face. I loved it. It's a long film, that plods along and usually I'd hate that but it really worked well with this film. It's different and I loved that. Great film.
Truly inspirational pen pal
Ashley Kate Adams gives a really inspirational performance as a breast cancer survivor who goes through a whole lot before she finds that life can be beautiful even without those two status symbols for women who some very shallow folks put a great store in. In the days before the personal computer and the internet people actually wrote letters to each other. But certainly the internet has made it possible to discover a sympathetic soul out there ready and willing to empathize and unburden oneself to. Adams's character is from Seattle and in a small town in Indiana she discovers a real soulmate. She's engaged to Ryan King who turns out to be one shallow character indeed. When she gives in to her curiosity and flies to Indiana it's quite a shock but also quite ennobling in its own way. Recommend this low budget film quite highly.
1 Mess
I don't think there is anything I deplore more than a hidden Christian themed movie. I would have never started watching had I known this at the start. This fact, coupled with poorly written and unrealistic scenes, stilted dialogue, terribly weak acting and a glacier like plot movement had me continually on the verge of pulling the plug, which I finally did around the hour mark. This best actors in this trainwreck was a tie between the clerk at the bookstore (who actually showed some emotion) and the dog. I love movies, but it's this kind of garbage that makes me realize the rarity of great film making.
