More Than Diamonds

so it's the morning after watching More Than Diamonds and my boys (who are 6 and 7) came in the room and the oldest boy, Jo-Jo said, "My favorite thing about that movie was that I learned you don't have to be a hero like superman or spiderman or even batman and green lantern (of whom i know not) to be a hero to your friends and sister or brother or mom" Then he added, "you don't even need to have big muscles" "you just have to be brave and believe that you can do it and know that you have Help even when your mommy and daddy aren't there beside you, even if it's harder than you think." Huddy, the younger one, said, "Yeah, I like Alexander and well...the old lady with the gun" Jo said "yeah, me too" "and you can even drive a car when you're young." Jo asked later today "Is there a number two?" Thanks for making this movie and teaching my spiderman and batman loving men something important.

And make some more movies :)

This was a great family movie with no drugs, sex or violence as is seen in most of today's movies! The story line was easy and clear to follow, but provided just enough action and suspense to keep you tuned in. More Than Diamonds was a very wholesome, thought out and executed story. This movie was enjoyable to watch from beginning to end. This is not a big Hollywood production with a huge budget, but was nicely done on location in SC. The actors seemed to interact well together as they bring about a very believable climatic plot. A great movie on how to deal with real life situations and the impact family members and their actions have on one another. A must see for all families, but especially helpful to families with broken relationships.

What a fantastic story!!! You won't find anything so wholesome coming out of Hollywood, not even from Disney...I dare you to try! More Than Diamonds shows us an average family, in tons of debt, and things keep getting darker until Adventure invites the children for a game. They must risk everything they have left to be Heroes, overcome the Villain, rescue the Princess...well just plain survive, all the while trying to recover a priceless treasure (and I'm not talking about Diamonds). Leaving the Postmodern trash of Existentialism, Sentimentalism, and Nihilism for the boys in Hollywood, Grant Skellenger offers hope by reminding us who we are and dares us to be more, showing us how! If you want a movie you can watch with your Mother, Wife and Children at the same time, the list is short and More Than Diamonds is on the top!

This film is a very well done family film with compelling story line. It had enjoyable characters with which you could identify. There were some very funny moments that my friends and I talked about later and enjoyed over and over again. I was greatly surprised by the discovery of the villain of the movie. He was such a likable character that drew you in at first. I found myself excited about the relationship building with him and the leading lady, only to be greatly surprised later by the low life he turned out to be. That was a very effective plot twist! I loved the angst of the son toward the end of the movie when his sister was in trouble in the water and he finally realized his fear had to be overcome to save his sister. I saw the film twice and thoroughly enjoyed it both times!

Now, there's a movie (this movie) to inspire everyone regardless of financial success or lowest depression. It is a "must see." The plot, the in-depth soul-searching relevance, and the music is so, so powerful. The incredible attribute about this movie is, it's appropriate for anyone of any age! Thanks Mr. Skellenger and everyone else that made this movie the best yet. It's only a matter of time before people who see this movie will experience POSITIVE life changing effects. There is a HERO, a young hero that will stir your heart. There is fear, challenge and resolve! I've already had others see this movie with me and found out (confirmed) that adults and children love it just as much as I do. God bless you all!!!
