    I love my friend Kennedy

    I loved this movie so much. It was as realistic and true to how it happened as possible and those bashing it need to know the family before they have a say in how it happened. royjsampilo: I'm sorry that their true story isn't Hollywood Plastic enough for you. Bookwormsrus: Basically, you're saying that you would have liked the movie more if the casting was false to make them black, right? That's what it sounds like. iamoliviacole: The family helped with the casting. The movie is how it happened. When you can say that you went to school in Plain City Utah at Fremont High School than you can say that the movie was unrealistic and "BAD" as you put it.

    Stop bashing on a true story about someone you don't know. Not everything has to be Hollywood Plastic.

    A story of love

    I have to say, I'm profoundly disappointed by the reviews that trashed this movie because the subjects of the movie were Mormon - you wouldn't even know it until the end, and even then there was nothing to be worked up about, unless you are so afraid of the Mormons that a scene of missionaries offering words of comfort to a bereaved family somehow scares you. There is not one drop of evil or ill-will in this film. Just pretend the young men in suits that only occupy a couple of minutes of the film are old men in robes, and you'll get over it.

    That aside - is this a perfect movie? Nah. It's a bit forced and manipulative, but it's also a wonderful story of love. Love of family. Love of a community, and yes, love of God. It might be a bit heavy for young children, but a perhaps a good movie for them anyway. This is a true story whose sole purpose is go inspire and comfort. For a low budget, independent film, the production values and acting aren't bad either. Thank you for sharing your family with us.

    Very good portrayal of a heart-wrenching true story

    Seems like most those who gave the film one star were only here to bash The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. How sad. While the film will certainly be well received and more clearly understood by members of the church, the love, kindness and generosity of spirit shown throughout the film appeals to any decent audience. By their fruits ye shall know them, right?

    All the acting was very solid and believable. Tatum Chiniquy certainly had a challenging part to play but did so with warmth and dignity. Jasen Wade was excellent as always.

    Probably an 8 star movie but I will give it 10 to make up for those who can't give an unbiased review.

    Emotionally Overwhelming

    I have watched this movie a dozen times. I share it with everyone I know and encourage them to watch it as well. I just can't seem to get enough of it. No matter how many times I watch it, it always feels like the first time. Kennedy's story touched me in ways I can't even begin to describe. I hope others choose to watch this movie with an open mind because I think they may just find themselves grateful they did. Thank you Kennedy, not just for living like Christ, but for encouraging us all to do the same. We love you Kennedy! GO WOLVES!
