I loved this movie. It was well done and presented the gospel message for kids in a unique way. Jonathan Sperry represented, to me, the grandfather-type of role many kids do not have in their lives but really need to relate to. I love the way bullying was dealt with and how Jonathan taught the kids to use compassion rather than violence to deal with it. In watching the extras, it seems that all of the actors and probably all of the crew were Christians and I think that makes a huge difference in the impact the film has. This is a movie I could watch again and again.

I would highly recommend this movie for the entire family. It has a clear gospel message, pointing to Jesus Christ as the true Saviour. You also will not see any immodesty in this film, which is rare even among some Christian films. Another great Rich Christiano movie.

Great DVD. Great example. If this is too short maybe I won't do this next time. What is better than great? stupendous?, marvelous?, exceptional?. If something is great, it is great!! Now is this review long enough?

This is an excellent movie with great values. It's got a bully and even a young romance. It has a number of funny moments which makes it entertaining for the family to watch, but it also has moments that really make you think. Did I say that I LOVE this movie?? I've shown it to my middle school class in Sunday School and they really enjoyed it and got something out of discussing it.

This is a great family movie..and one I would highly recommend to show to a young/teen Sunday School Class. It is amazing the difference "one" person can make in the lives of so many individuals by just being "a friend" and "willing" to give of oneself a little time and resources. Inspiring!

I would have to say at the beginning I thought it was a little cheesy. However that did not last long. So many great Christian principals and honouring the Lord in all of them. I wish more Christian movies were like this.

A great film illustrating some of the various ways in which one person can influence the faith decisions of others. I was impressed that it emphasized that the way in which we live is just as important as what we say as we share our faith with others. I liked the fact that the main character shared his faith with all those around him, no matter who they were, and he taught others to do that as well.

It was a very touching and moving story about the awesome power of sharing the love of Jesus with others. It really spoke to the younger generation about how important it is to first of all to accept Jesus in their hearts and also about sharing it with others. Also about how to handle people who are bullies and to know why they act that way and to show them the love of Jesus.
