Great movie, even greater message.Had me shedding a tear by the end! Verastegui is a great example of how to use the talent God gives us for the building of His Kingdom. We need more men and women in the movie business who aren't afraid to profess their love for God...

At first, I was nervous about the PG-13 rating, but after watching the DVD... there was nothing to fear. I don't know what I was expecting, but I didn't really see a reason for it be rated PG-13. Anyway... yes, the ending might be a bit confusing, but I won't give away what it is. All things considered, it's a good movie with a great message- pro life!

This movie is great. . . very thought provoking. While not quite having a "fairy-tale" ending, it left the viewer with a lot to chew on.

The film was made very well, even though it was choppy in the presentation at some points. But it had an excellent message for prolife and as a birth defect person, who probably would have been aborted had I had the test, I was not am not 59 and working and serving the Lord!

This was a wonderful movie, but the ending left me feeling as if I missed something. I understand what happened, but wish they had offered an explanation as to why she made her choice and why she came back. Was she back for good? Was it a visit? A great movie that I could never watch a second time because of unanswered questions.

The theme was commendable but the movie was stagnant at times and there was no flow as the story unfolded

I really enjoyed the movie. Very artistically done. The dialog was well written. I thought it was a positive movie about real people. No explosions just good story line with a nice surprise ending.

The story was a very moving way to share a pro-life viewpoint in a way that would not be offensive to pro-choice Christians. The acting was good, the story was unique.

This is an amazing film. We had all our kids watch it except for our 9 and 5 year olds. Our older kids ages 22-16 all thought it was a stellar film. Great lessons about life and the mistakes you can make and the ones you want to avoid and unconditional love and redemption. Great cinematography and music too.

It was intense, confusing at times, the story was finally put together at the end, very good theme,Spanish/English subtitles made it confusing to us, for us it needed a little more detail.

This is an excellent movie - with lots of thought provoking scenes - Christian based, dealing with some major issues of life. Be sure you watch the additional material - "Behind the Scenes" section - provides a much richer experience and explains things not thought about plus providing an insight into the hearts of the actors. I say Bravo to the producer, all the actors and the supporting personnel of this movie. Fabulous job - thanks for making this movie!
