Really loved the story. Things that happen in a family that just are just SO hard to get through. Really hit home in this family. Like they say.. When it gets too hard to stand, it is time to kneel. All thanks to God.

We really enjoyed the movie! It was definitely family friendly and faith based, which is what we like to see. We were lucky enough to get free tickets from pay it forward so we also paid it forward. I like the concept of making the movies affordable for all!

When all is said and done, the movie manages to juggle several moving parts with incredible graceful balance.

For those who appreciate uplifting stories with spiritual undertones, it delivers exactly what’s expected—and sometimes, God’s blessing is enough.

The story’s conventional beats (the get-back-in-shape montage, the bad news delivered at a critical moment) cohere into a wholesome journey of long-delayed healing. The inclusion of the wonderful Mykelti Williamson, as Joe’s longtime friend and rodeo partner, injects a buddy-movie vibe that anchors the action in riding bouts that are smoothly thrilling without being punishing.
