Heartwarming

Definitely a heartwarming movie that brings a smile to my face, at least. Although the story isn't extravagant, not so action packed, not going to here doing this, it's real. It's a real story and it gets to the point of human life. A major part of that is the guilt that can fester within someone.Guilt can make people do things they might never have thought of doing changing the entire course of the life one could have planned out. It's dirty, forces people to flow and live with the wind of life. But at the same time, one must always be real with oneself. Although life may have changed, the things that will always remain true is the feelings in your heart and head. Truth of feelings is power, power that can change lives.This can be summarized from crookedness to honesty. Thanks to obeying the feelings in the mind and body an honest character is created, in some stories at least.

I could eat some waffles now.

When the movie started stating this story was based on real life events I was expecting that the main character James Adams was going to accomplish something stunningly remarkable but in the end it's just not that exceptional, on the contrary it's quite dull and non significant. That said the story is still pleasant to follow, with good acting from James Lafferty, Julie Gonzalo and the rest. Danny Glover plays a character we're familiar with for him by now, the old wise guy that has seen it all, nothing spectacular but it works in this movie. I wouldn't say I laughed a lot, just some giggles, but for a dramady it's worth a watch. It made me crave some waffles though.

Worth seeing

No, this is not a great movie, and if you're looking for exciting action, move on. But I was surprised to find that the story is one that stayed with me well after I watched the show, in good ways. Unless you're completely unmotivated in life, this movie will probably give you a lift, a little inspiration and when you think about it later, maybe you'll think, "Hey, maybe there's hope for me, too!" I don't think it's corny or sappy, partly because it actually happened.
