Someone Like You

Romance. Christian. Cheesy but sweet! Not for everyone, but if you enjoy Hallmark flicks (and Christian films), you'll probably enjoy this IMHO. Really liked Jake Allyn (as Dawson) He said a lot with his eyes and body language, and he's adorable. I wish the writing, directing and acting were stronger, but it got a little better as it went along. And there were definitely plot holes, especially in regards to HIPAA (releasing health info to others). This is adapted from a Karen Kingsbury book (Christian author) and this is the first of her books that she produced under her own production company. I think the director/co-writer, and some other people that contributed to the film, are related to Mrs. Kingsbury as well. Definitely wouldn't give it a 9 or 10, but it doesn't deserve a 1 or 2 either IMHO! (5 from my hubby, 6 from me...but I do enjoy Hallmark movies...LOL)

You'll most likely enjoy or dislike this movie. If you are a believed, then go see it! It's refreshing to watch a movie that has Christian values infused throughout along with no profanity or violence.

Even if you are not a Christian or do not believe there is a God, I encourage you to check out this movie. It's a cute love story. The scenery is beautiful and the movie proceeds at a good pace.

I cried at different times during the movie, which show the storyline is believable and compelling.

The movie industry is filled with demonic and violent movies that are harmful to your soul. Fill your mind and heart with a movie that is touching, positive, and enjoyable.

I love the fact that Karen Kingsbury will now be involved in producing some of her stories as films for the big screen. While women can probably relate more to this story than men, I found it to be a great escape. Despite the pain the lead experienced, he kept moving forward. Loved the scenes on the lake. It's simply refreshing to watch a movie where you don't have to worry about foul language or inappropriate behavior. The story's premise is a little different, but watching how the parents and Jake Allyn dealt with grief was interesting. True love hurts and can also bring joy for those lucky enough to find it twice. Overall, I'm glad I invested time and money for the view. I do hope Kingsbury will be able to produce others.

Dawson Gage (Jake Allyn) and his best friend London Quinn (Sarah Fisher) have a very close relationship. Then she gets hit by a truck and dies. Her parents (Lynn Collins, Scott Reeves) reveals that London was an IVF baby and there is a twin. She tracks down Andi Allen (Sarah Fisher), but her parents (Robyn Lively, Bart Johnson) have kept her origins a secret.

The premise has a creepy factor. Dawson is essentially replacing his unresolved feelings for London with her twin. It's a weird idea, but it could still work. He could encounter the twin by chance and have it a matter of the stars. Make it magical. Instead, he is tracking her down like a creepy stalker. There is a medical reason for the search, but the movie is more interested in the romancing. The issue there is that the transplant would still work after London gets killed unless her organs got squashed. Apparently, this is a Christian movie. I couldn't really tell other than some praying. There are other issues. I think a dog can tell the difference between twins. This is mostly non-sense with a dash of blah and a creepy sensibility. Otherwise, it's fine.

Why was the biological dad not more apart of the story! He certainly should have been! She was so focused of the sister, mother, boyfriend... it truly never recognized her father! Instead it seemed to discount his opinion and presence ant every turn! He should have been included in the decision making and the reconnecting of Andi! Over all the story was good. It just need the father to be included. So, I guess I'll need to keep typing for this review to be included in the over all assignment! Which, I might add, is ridiculous. But, the powers that may be say so, so here it is! Thank you for you time!
