Wow. Absolutely amazing movie. I really don't know what more to say. Phenominal in every way. They didn't use special effects, it was all real. The acting was amazing, but consider the actors! Amazing. The drama was so dead on, I didn't just watch the movie, I experienced it. I rarely tear up during a movie but this one was definitely tugging at the ol' heart strings towards the end. Highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. I'm really glad I bought this one.

    Yeha, the 'ole hayfever kicked in a few times during this one.

    It was really well-made. Not the most original storyline, and you had to take some realism out of the thing to get he PG-13 rating, but still really a good time.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Watched it last night and would highly recommend it. The picture and sound quality were excellent. The story was good and kept the whole family interested for the entire movie. Not once did I find myself getting board or wishing the movie would move more quickly. Some may say that a couple of the scenes were a little hokey, but you have to expect that with a movie like this.

    this was a great movie, I kind of expected a Backdraft type flick but it was nothing of the sort. I highly recommend this one also.
