At the beginning this movie screamed B Grade at me but as I got into it I was pleasantly surprised, shocked, saddened and uplifted by the characters and the story line. Kirstie's portrayal was brilliant and believable. The message in the film was a powerful one for all of us who face adversity in our lives and gave some insight into the long physical and emotional road any one of us could "suddenly" face to get our lives back on track and how friends and family are a huge part of that process.I found this movie to be inspirational for anyone in any situation which requires strength, willpower and sheer guts and determination.
