Lawrence Toppman Charlotte Observer There's nary a big surprise, but I defy anyone who sees this film to leave without a warm feeling. Rated: 3/4 Sep 10, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Linda W There were parts of the movie that were not believable, but enough twists that I enjoyed watching it. I liked the fact that the story didn’t need violence and profanity to be interesting and had a good message without being sappy. The focus is not as much on the fact that God took your family, but rather on why you were left here. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Mike L I guess the script writers have never heard of "discovery." Also, this case would have never come to trial. Everything up to the trial - about half way - was tolerable - not very well acted but tolerable. Everything from the start of in court was horrible - very bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Rebecca S I thought it was very good, not quite as good as John Grisham but close enough to spend your time watching it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this movie was great. It kept my attention throughout. It had no profanity or gratuitous sex. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice to see a movie without the foul language so prevalent. Good entertainment Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member After the law&order and other similar shows, the trial has several scenes with a very low credibility Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
