Wow, what a GREAT movie! Refreshing and Charming


Despite its predictable nature, this movie is remarkably well done.

Too many faith based films lay it on too thick or can be ham-fisted and not believable. That’s not the case with this movie. All the characters have depth and remarkable charm, especially the leads.

In a perfect world, Brett Dalton would receive award nomination consideration for his performance. Sounds completely odd saying that about any January release but he really was that good. The set up in the first act plays out light and predictable but after a connection is made, the rest of the film is refreshing, complex and charming yet spiritual in the best way possible. The Gavin Stone character has a true arc and true development worthy of any big budget quality Hollywood production. They capture why faith is important in those “fly over” states mentioned in the movie.

True Christian ethics are on display and this is truly a worthy effort and the best feel good film that I’ve seen in years.

This is a 2017 release and right now sits on top of my BEST OF THE YEAR list.
