    My wife and I thought it was great, but we are boomers that remember Sidney Poitier very well and we can be moved by a movie without violence, sex, or special effects. My wife cried and I found the movie touching and engaging.

    I loved this movie. It was a simple story that left me feeling good at the end. What more could you ask for? I especially like the music score by Joseph Conlan - be sure to listen to it during the ending credits. Nice.

    Portrays many of the life lessions that you want your kids to learn...Christian values such as integrity, humility, honesty, loyalty, generosity and work ethics!
