Millspeak of Palawan The film is about a Christian teenager's pursuit of her own dreams in her own way. As Grace turned 18, she got tired with the tight discipline and ways of her dad making her feel suffocated. Wanting to pursue her own dream of becoming a famous singer herself, she presented a demo of her dad's famous old hit to her dad's former manager. A chance eventually opened up bringing her into the chaotic world of the secular music industry in Hollywood, and challenging her to choose between pleasing God or pursuing her own dream in her own way.The story has a common plot. There are really no surprising twists, creative transitions or unpredictable scenes, but what makes it great is that such Christian films are rare. Besides, the story doesn't seem dragging. Moreover, the actress and actors were great. The acting was natural and does not seem forced. It was also surprising to see James Denton (the father) who formerly was from desperate housewives; Jamie Grace – a Dove awarded singer, songwriter and musician; Kevin Pollak – a veteran actor; and a cameo by Chris Tomlin and Pia Toscano – an American idol season 10 top7.It is indeed a nice film for every contemporary Christian musician. It is encouraging and inspiring even to those who want to try to write songs. It is also informative and reveals some of the realities that not everyone knew about what it is to be in the industry. The songs are also great and the fact that AJ Michalka is a real singer adds value to the integrity of the film. The film may seem like a cliché but there are classic lessons that parents and daughters/sons must never forget.
CMChaney123 This movie brings back what the media has been lacking. "Grace Unplugged" has proved to me that God is not lost in the industry that is Hollywood. I recommend this movie to everyone. I received such inspiration from this movie and I feel my heart burst with pride for The Lord when I watch it. This movie is appropriate for anyone and I think that it could be used in church as an example for teens that are at odds with their faith and the ones that are stable in their faith. There is no age limit on this movie, in my opinion, it has something for everyone. I think that anyone who watches this film will feel the inspiration and hope that I felt while watching it.
judith-baine I LOVE this movie! Having grown up in a musical family where I was in the shadow of older siblings and parents, I appreciated how she wanted to do her own thing. I loved the chemistry between her and her parents. The Hollywood portion of it was a bit predictable, but most movies--even the best ones--are.If you are looking for an inspiration film where you don't have to worry about what your child will hear or see, this is the one to watch. It would be a great film to show in a church youth group or family night. I highly recommend it.
hoosier908 This is a great move for the twelve and older. Younger children might find it a little too relationship oriented. We went as a family. From my 83 year old mother-in-law to my 15 year old daughter - we all loved it. Has a nice Christian message without being preachy. The relationship between the father and daughter is especially touching. It depicts the father and daughter relationship in that time of life when the daughter is grown and yet not an adult and their communication hits that stage where it is in a difficult transition. Perfectly captures the love of a family and portrays all the family members as equally bad/good. Refreshing.
