Though some of the sports scenes are not as convincing, the story line, interactions and dialog are. This based-on-a-true-story movie takes you on quite a journey that is safe and entertaining for the whole family. It will also challenge you to think more carefully about your life and inspire you to look for, and trust, how providence is working out the direst of circumstances in your, and your family's, life. This movie may not be 100% 'Hollywood quality', but it is very close. The acting, cinematography and screenplay is excellent. Only some of the sports scenes could have used a bit more authenticity, but it is easily overlooked because of the excellence throughout the rest of the movie. Well worth the watch and the purchase!!

It's amazing what God can do! It's an uplifting movie that proves no matter what we face in life we can make it through because God is with us every step of the way.

If a movie of any kind is going to made about a teenager who overcomes incredible odds, could they have least picked someone with a little more depth?? Cody Linley couldn't act himself out of a wet paper bag. I loved the story and being as i watch a lot of faith based movies, I didn't find this one overly done with Christianity. This is a family who believes in God and leans on Him in times of trouble even when their whole world is crashing in on them. Period.
