I could not help it but shed a few tears for this movie...its inspiring and when u leave the theater a feel good and appreciative of what u take for granted everyday!

In today's very disturbing, trying times, it is so refreshing to see such a heartwarming wholesome movie. I bought ticket to see it with our 11 year old and he was moved to tears! Such an inspiring story!

Whether that be through exploring mental abolition versus determination or even activism versus an individual’s special needs, Hamm’s latest had the potential to say a lot more than what was accomplished. Instead, he doesn’t do much with either, and he relies a little too heavily on his actors to take this uninspiring script towards sincerity.

It's a call to action with no banner behind which to rally, sanitized to the point of being anodyne.
