Review
This movie is perfect for families with teenagers. It can be difficult to find family movies that older kids can relate to.
But, the modern high school setting is one that they will be able to relate to easily. This is especially true if they participate in sports or have friends that do.
A note for car buffs: Ed Hansen tries to get Brycen’s mind off his diagnosis by getting him involved in his restoration of a 1966 Mustang.
I love the way this film shows a community coming together in times of crisis. Bryce’s classmates and school all support and pray for him and his family while they are going through this.
The film emphasizes the power of prayer even when we are going through a crisis. I love the reminder that God still answers prayers and performs miracles.
This movie makes a great family film you can watch with no worries about inappropriate situations. But, it’s a wonderful way to begin a talk about the power of prayer.

Ellen is a mom of a 25-year-old son and 30-year-old daughter. She is Grandma to one adorable toddler. In what little spare time she has, she loves to read, watch movies, and check out the latest toys and games.
I love the power of prayer message in this film. As a nurse, I get inspired by movies with hope and try to pass along to my patients the attitude of staying positive while recovering from illness. I’m glad you can offer this to those who have won this subscription before, since it’s just been 6 months since I first tried the platform. Since then so many new movies have been added and along with this one, I’d love to see them. I’m also a fan of the Ford mustang and my folks had a few when I was growing up.
