Lucy and the Lake Monster

This is a story with some sweet and relatable themes for today. One of my favorite quotes was, the church is supposed to build bridges but often is a barrier. While the corporate "church" culture discourages questions, the grandpa encourages it. Definately one of the most beautiful messages is how important it is to feel like you can be yourself. I feel the heart of this film is definately that its important to have a childlike attitude and tender heart when approaching life, which the grandpa encourages. The grandpa definately makes a difference between childish and childlike, the grandpa has some deep wise messages to convey in the film.

I found this movie very delightful,been a long time since à good moralsetting child setting movie has been displaced..honestly blown away by the story line ,captured my attention all the way thru,never wanting to miss a moment,,hurray to the directors,actors,and producers an,writers. .quite delightful.hopefully every child will be able to have this movie present to them in their lives,for the imagation growth ,creativity and thoughtfulness it relates is awesome..capturing attention of the children is a vitual point in movie watching,I know it is a well put together scenery, an story telling was quite basic yet able to catch ,understand and teach many the (story) morals and theme telling of this movie..I find it wasn't a waste of time to watch..recommend it the any age...

"Lucy & the Lake Monster" is one of the finest films I've seen this year. The core of this heartfelt drama is the relationship between Papa, the grandfather, (Richard Rossi) and his nine year-old granddaughter Lucy (Emma Pearson). They have the type of loving relationship every child needs with a parent or grandparent.

It's a wonderful movie for children, but also for everyone, because Papa and Lucy's adventure searching for the sea creature Champ is compelling to all ages.

The setting of the Lake Champlain region of New York and Vermont was gorgeous, and the scenery was displayed with breathtaking cinematography.

The music is fantastic. After leaving the theater in New York, we found ourselves singing the theme song, "You, Champ, and Me." When the rocking toe-tapper "Lago Time" played in the film, many in the audience were clapping, moving their arms, and some even danced in the aisles to the infectious beat.

This is a simple, but very powerful film and I found the relationship between Lucy and her grandfather especially touching.

This independent film is breath of fresh air to the normal mature or violent films being made today. There's no fighting, shootouts, nudity or foul language. A feel-good movie that is very rarely seen today. It has subtle lessons as well as lessons about bullying. With emphasis about not to give up on your dreams, no matter what pressure you're experiencing. The audience, especially the children in the theater, cheer out loud for "Lucy and PaPa!" Richard Rossi is so multi-talented, and it shows with his collaboration with Kelly Tabor, who co-wrote the book and screenplay., The movie itself. The writing, the singing and creativity is put together beautifully. The outdoor scenes are put together smartly. And a lot of the scenery is breathtaking. There is also a great small town feeling that you get just from the scenery alone. A very special shout out to child actress, Emma Pearson. This beautiful young girl has a career ahead of her. She is so believable and projects her character showing almost no effort. After I found out how it was conceived and finally accomplished, I was even more impressed. The cameos are great, and what a sad coincidence that it became John Amos's last time on film. I recommend it for families and children of all ages.

Fills you with delight and wonder. A happy story that makes you smile over and over again. The characters are authentic and fun to follow. Oh, the scenery and music brings you into the story.

Embracing the genuine feelings of wonder we had in our youth. Believe, follow your heart. You never know what you will find.

The film that won't disappoint and worth seeing for sure!! A gift for all ages to enjoy. Treat yourself and those you love to this wonderful movie.

Thank you for the dream, direction and production of this heartfelt work of art. Your dedication and hard work is very much appreciated.
