Miracle at Manchester

I really, really loved this movie. Hollywood needs to continue to make movies like this one. The story is actually real just google Brycen Newman and there will be a whole host of links that show this as a true story. The amount of amazing critic reviews is insane, the number listed is 70 and I couldn't find one that doesn't rave about the story, the movie and the acting and I agree with the ones I read.

For individuals of faith, this movie reinforces that there is a higher power and not to give up on God or prayer. What the Newman family went through is heartbreaking, and definitely will bring tears to your eyes. But at the end you see a community come together to say a prayer over a young man that changes everything. I love the line "no need to go to Florida, there are plenty of beaches here in California" and that Mustang is a dream car for most.

The actors that shined in my opinion were Eddie McClintock "Richard Newman", Daniel Roebuck "Ed Hanson", Cathy Patterson "Marilynn Hanson", Brennan Hunt "Alexandra", and Nick Avila "Miles Himmel" is a very good looking young man, I hope to see him in more movies like this. Cori Lombardi "Anne Majer" did a fantastic job as the teacher, and Christin Jezak as Dr. Sam did a good job also. The one thing I would have like to see more of is Dean Cain, he is on the poster art but wasn't on screen as much as you would hope.

All in all there are zero complaints, I am excited that I bought the movie because I will be showing it to my family and recommending it to my friends. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am glad I bought it.

I just absolutely loved this movie! Such a wonderful and uplifting story about how an entire high school and its community come together to support and pray for one of their own. I love stories like this, and what is even more amazing is that it is a true story. I would love to know how accurate a depiction the movie is to the actual story, I did see that Brycen Newman did get that Mustang in the movie from Make-A-Wish. So that makes me believe a lot of the movie is factual.

I loved seeing all the real pictures of Brycen Newman in the trailers, it is always nice to see the actual person the movie is depicting. What a handsome young man he is. It would be wonderful to know how he is doing now. I wish they would have had a clip of where Brycen Newman is now and what is he doing with his life. It looks like he comes from a very grounded family so I would assume he is doing great things. I really loved this movie and story.

I thought the acting was very good. The actors that really stood out were Daniel Roebuck, Kathy Patterson, Eddie McClintock, Brennan Hunt, Nick Avila, Kory Gettman & the teacher from the high school. They all brought a lot of emotion to their roles and helped keep you wrapped up in the story pulling for Brycen Newman.

To Brycen Newman and the Newman family, my heart goes out to them and what they dealt with. So happy that the ending was a joyful and happy one.

This movie is suitable for all ages, there is no cursing or inappropriate subject matter in this movie. It does bring a full range of emotions out so some younger children might not understand what is going on but everyone will be smiling and cheering at the end.

If you are a believer in faith, I definitely am, then this movie is a must see. I recommend this movie to all which is why I rated it a '10 out of 10. I hope this movie is very successful like the Passion of Christ so that more studios make more movies like this one.

This was a powerful story of overcoming cancer. Get a box of tissues because there are some emotional moments in this film. Overall, this movie exceeded my expectations. If you are a believer, this movie will reinforce the power of prayer and healing. My wife in a devout Muslim and high school teacher, and she really enjoyed watching the positive message for students. The acting was very realistic and the emotions were sincere and genuine. I would recommend this movie for anyone who needs some encouragement in their lives. When you think there is no hope, positivity and prayer can make the difference between life and death.

I've watched this twice and recommend it! The story may have been unbelievable except it's true. Get ready for goosebumps and a grab your hankie scene!

The photography is lovely, and the actors who portray the real people who lived this do a superb job.

I know many churches, youth groups and families would enjoy watching this on movie night and to inspire discussion about faith and how God works. There is some Catholicism but that doesn't mean all Christians can't relate, in fact I appreciated knowing that we all share doubts, fears and that when we pull together our faith fan grow.

I also recommend googling the foundation started by the real life young man who wanted to reach other kids living with cancer. Recommended.

I was just amazed at how beautiful this movie is and should be watched by all individuals that believe in God and the goodness of the people in this world.

First the story in itself is just so beautiful and the actors really brought this story home to show the emotions of a child that is diagnosed with cancer, let alone brain cancer. I commend the Newman family and the school community for showing the world never to give up on God and that prayer actually works and all things can be accomplished if you have faith.

This movie definitely brings out all range of emotions, one minute you are excited Brycen's team won the game and the next minute you are crying because of a horrible cancer diagnosis. I thought Daniel Roebuck kept you smiling and laughing, when the movie needed it most. I give credit to all the actors for doing such a great job pulling the emotions out that the movie is portraying.

This is without a doubt a must watch for those people of faith, don't listen to the naysayers that want to tear down faith and religion. This is a beautiful movie with an incredible true story. I highly recommend it for all ages, especially those individuals of faith. This movie restores your faith in God and humanity.
