Andrew G This looks like a Hallmark movie. There are so many unbelievable seconds in this movie that I could never sympathize with the characters. The cemetery scene in the rain was ridiculous. The sadistic bully and his inevitable defeat was such a cliche. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Audience Member Okay story; average acting. Nothing really remarkable about it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed this one. Told the story of a boy who had a accident and was in a wheelchair.The determined mother moved the family to a house near a surgion so George can get all the help he needs. This film gives some great acting performances with a well delivered storyline.I did think in parts that the story did get a bit too slow and the story could of been done in more detail but it was still Interesting and Entertaining.This film does have flaws and the acting isn't outstanding but this film isn't terrible and the film making wasn't done badly.Yes it could of been better but the thing I liked about this film was it was original.This film was delivered that does deliver a pretty good story that should keep its audience entertained.It wasn't outstanding but it wasn't bad however it was entertaining and this film was likable.The children in this actually did pretty well and they didn't do weakly.I thought this was good for a unknown film and I think more should watch this film because its worth it.My gran saw this before me and liked it so I thought I would check it out today as it was on tele. Overall I thought this film was delivered well and gave something to audience.This film was entertaining to watch and the filmmakers did very well making this film.This film wasn't outstanding but the acting performances and the story was done very well for an unknown film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
