torstensonjohn Ask a question to the skies of what can open your heart and let you empathize. The answer is this film right here. The entire world should know and see this film. It is heart warming, gut wrenching, tear filled and wonderfully put together. A genuine story written and directed by Lexi Alexander. The empathetic story flows very nicely and revolves around a specific plot element with a touch of educational sub plots. It delves into home life, military parent, bullying, dug addiction, racism, solace, music and death. There certainly is a plethora of talent in this film. This also happens to be the star's Uriah Shelton acting debut. Many great scenes with the lead Henry (Shelton) and his dad (Dash Mihok), who is brilliantly characterized in the film. A true family drama that will be sure to open your eyes and grasp at the heart. It is also a true tribute to honoring our men and women of the military. Watch this film with open eyes and you will not be disappointed, a solid 9 out of 10 from me.

Winfield_Browne I was totally disappointed towards the ending sequences. The big reveal left me wondering just who did the research on Military and their families.Anyways, moving right along ... The delivery fails so dramatically I find it hard to give this fluke a better rating til I see it a second time to see if I missed something. The story hits all the right notes. Faith. Loss of faith. Failure. Redemption. Faith regained and the ending with all the soldiers standing watch and giving assistance boosts this story back up ... we are never alone.But it isn't enough of a boost after the wooden performances turned in by all the actors. For that I blame a lack of inspired direction and giving this excellent story i high rating after a failure of performance would reward a director wrongly.

frenchfry-17947 This movie has a target: the Fox watching, ghost-believing conservative American. Unless you are not in their target market, be ready for over an hour of awful acting, predictable plot with sprinkles of American Idol, Reuben Studdard included. All the stereotypes are there, from the pastor jump-starting the career of the little Christian boy to the ghost of the kid's dad in fatigues, with the three judges including the rude one, the comedian (a rip-off, quieter version of Larry the cable guy) and the one in the middle. The reason why I grade it a 2 and not a 1? No Kirk Cameron or Kirk Cameron nonsense. There are better ghost/feel good movies out there, much worst movies as well, but unless you are hoping for a movie like that, you will be sorely disappointed for that waste of time.

mookie59 This movie is about a little boy who's Dad has to deploy overseas. While he is gone things happen to make life even harder than just missing his Dad. It opened my eyes to how difficult life is for those at home. We often salute the soldiers but the families left behind are heroes as well. Fortunately, some strong men step up to help out. This movie is clean as well. A nice family movie that I would enjoy for a good movie night. Of course the soundtrack is outstanding! I also was pleased to see Trace Adkins show up. He is always supportive of our Troops.You will be proud of our soldiers and their families in this movie. Don't forget to grab your Kleenex.
