      Steve D Way too religious for me. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/23 Full Review Audience Member His last movie when he was younger. Definitely an amazing movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member best movie I've ever seen Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing bad. A good film, despite sentimental, made for television. Ellen Burstyn and Jonathan Taylor-Thomas are a great due. Fresh. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is great, full of inspiration and hope. Yet sometimes it does so too much, making the story somewhat corny. Overall the actors are really good, though, and the story is both dramatic and funny. And it's really good, so I recommend it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie where a widow applies the word of god to her life Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
