matthewtjohnston-95633 This is perhaps the greatest movie ever conceived of. I am thoroughly convinced that no movie will ever achieve the greatness that this movie did. I am also fairly certain that God created the world solely so that this movie could be made and we could watch it and bask in its glory. Every aspect of this movie, from the plot, to the writing, cinematography, and especially the acting were clearly a gift of God to the people who made this movie. The best scene by far is when Caleb and Rachel finally hold hands for the first time. That was the moment where I truly fell in love with this movie. If you have really watched this movie, you will understand that it deserves every Oscar award available, and it additionally deserves one for "Greatest Movie Ever Created." Each of the actors additionally deserve awards for their acting because they truly made the movie great. The only way we can make Hollywood great again is to make them only produce films exactly like this one: that is, this is the only film made that was worth making, so they should just keep making it over and over again.

starrocks-29828 I'm currently a Sophomore at PHC. I love the school. I also happen to be in agreement with most of this movie's political and religious philosophy.With that said, this film has many problems. The movie moves far too quickly, jumping hours in a single shot. There are also numerous stereotypes of PHC students and people who were homeschooled, from the need for "commitment" before getting in a car with a woman to proposing to the dad instead of the woman. (The latter isn't seen but is sort of implied by the final line of dialogue in the movie.)(Also, the movie is aimed at a faith-based audience. So why does it include a quick shot of a lady checking out Rachel's rear at work? That felt way out of place.)It's not the worst movie out there, for sure. But unless you're a PHC student watching this to make fun of it, odds are you'll be very disappointed.

jpoland-74069 CWM was a heartwarming pic featuring impassioned acting by the young main cast. The romance was quite cute and the social issue discussion worthwhile and poignant. This movie definitely surpassed the standard low budget expectations!JP

lelie This review is just about as diametrically opposite of the last reviewer as you can get. This was never made as a 'for profit' work, so trying to 'capitalize' is rather silly; money, capital, is not an issue. Sure, court IS boring, even more boring than most sports events. Both do have most of the people sitting around and waiting, and most uninvolved. But for the people involved in any court case, the emotions are very real and very important. This film is really about seeing things from another person's perspective; walking a mile in the other person's shoes. Had the first reviewer even bothered to watch to the end he would have realized that. The 'villain' of the first 90% of the film is finally realized to be simply a victim herself. That's what makes this a good film; the empathy one ends up feeling. Is it moralistic? Sure. Has that become a problem today? Sure, it deals with abortion in a far more real way than the slogans and platitudes normal given. It also deals with marriage problems in a better way than any current film short of "Fireproof". Is the sound track up to par? Please, this was a student film. You can't expect that. It might just be the best student film I've ever seen.
