A great family movie
i saw part of this movie on the Hallmark Channel here in Qatar. it looked good so i bought it for my wife. we watched it together & both of us thought it was an awesome movie with a message. i'm not a chick flick kinda guy but this movie was a tear jerker. Abigail Breslin deserves two thumbs up & James garner was his usual self... superb!! i rate his performance right there with the notebook. just a great movie.

A great reminder that true happiness is in loving and serving others. The movie brings this out without being preachy.

Inspirational AND Moving... Well Done!
This is simply an amazing movie with a heart rendering message. I was truly moved and truly inspired by this story. A cynic may proclaim it to be predictable and clichéd but a movie this meaningful should not be viewed through cynical eyes. I guess it depends on the viewer's state of mind but I was in a place in my life where this movie truly spoke to me. Wonderful film and a wonderful experience if taken to heart.

Usual Hollywood Faith-Based Fare
Being that this movie is being sold through most, if not all Christian outlets, I feel compelled to distinguish this from others for the sake of Christians who are truly looking for deeply spiritual family viewing.
This is not it.
Mentioning Jesus Christ favorably, showing a statue of Him occasionally, and mentioning a few lines here and there about life hereafter does not pass muster...sorry.
If you are looking for movie similar to a Rich Christiano and Alex Kendrick production, this is not it.
Sadly, I was hoping for more. The plot was intriguing and entertaining, but there was something lacking...
Perhaps I should have taken note of James Garner's involvement; I have always considered him a great actor, but never appreciated his trash talk. Yes, there are the "obligatory" curse words in this movie, for those who care.
Then there is the rude-turned-cute little girl (played by Abigail Breslin), depicting the child-turned-parent roles so prevalent in movies. What happened to children being children, and adults accepting their rightful responsibility? Despite the sadness of this little girl's illness, her behavior is not suitable as a role model for my daughter.
There is an increased focus of faith-based productions coming out of Hollywood, chasing the family market that's craving decent material. This is one of their products. For some peculiar reason, I just don't think that they have a clue.
