good heart warming movie

i watched this movie cause fox was in it and didint he play a good part, i love true story and this was a great film even made me cry. August 3, 2008

recommended; worth watching

i liked: the story line was interesting and entertaining. good characters, good acting. many examples of biblical values; forgiveness, love, kindness, gentleness, redemption, acceptance, tolerance. i disliked: the mild profanity here and there; all but that of james jones (based on a true story) was unnecessary. not for pre-teens, little ones, or your church library.

True Story -Good Family Relationship Movie

Bring out the tissue box for you will need it in the end. It is a true story about a man [played by Donald Sutherland] who spent his whole life caught up in his work, neglected his relationship with his wife and forgot to be a father to his son. One day he has a rude awakening and the journey begins as he tries to regain what he lost by helping a mentally challeged Christian man in his employ find his lost father. Good movie on how God works behind the scenes in our lives without even knowing it. It keeps you wondering how it will turn out in the end. March 14, 2008

A Hidden Gem

Splendid film! It radiates compassion and goodwill. The sheer acting abilities of the cast held my attention and lift this Canadian-produced film from the good to the top-notch.

Donald Sutherland portrays Dr. Robert Shushan, the director of an institute which employs the mentally handicapped in fulfilling orders to commercial sellers (packing boxes, assembling). Somewhere along the way he's left his hands-on idealism behind and become enmeshed in red-tape and bureacracy, neglecting his wife and son in the process. A crisis with his health and a fortuitous meeting with the interesting and eccentric James Jones sets him back on track.

This is a true story; the screenplay was written by the real Shushan and Jones. It's moving and worth watching more than once. January 31, 2008
