Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace

"Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace" is a heartwarming film that beautifully promotes hope and faith. The young actress in the main role delivers an outstanding performance that will tug at your heartstrings. This touching movie left me in tears, reminding us of the power of belief and the beauty of innocence. Is it the best movie I've ever seen? No. Does it warm your heart? Yes! It made me wholeheartedly believe in the power of friendship, hope and faith. Yes the acting from the adults isn't the best by any means, the little girl outshined the lot of them. But if you like a movie that tugs on your heartstrings, give it a watch!

An incarcerated man who is suffering renal failure, a five years old girl Lucy, who looks at her grandfather and speaks with him: then Lucy has a dream about a sad man. Lucy has to go the hospital because she has a pneumony infection and meets the sad man. That is different Christmas story where the gifts are the friendship and the organ donation. Also a nice story of redemption (God works on mysterious ways).

Great performances of Scarlett Diamond, Vincent Vargas, Adam Hightower, Florencia Contreras Stevens and Shawn Stevens.

This is not a blockbuster of a movie, in fact it is small and simple with actors who have no big screen credentials. But none of that matters because of the meaningful story. It is about Lucy, a special five year old girl who gets sick a few weeks before Christmas. She has a pneumonia infection that proves to be very difficult. While in the hospital she befriends a man who is incarcerated but needing a kidney.

I see one review calls this a "sad sad sad" movie and I suppose you could look at it that way. But I prefer to look at it as a "happy happy happy" story of redemption and how caring more for others can make great things happen.

The little girl is really good in the role of Lucy, the story was written and the movie directed by her grandpa, no doubt was also the reason for the focus on Lucy and her deceased grandpa in the movie.

My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library. It is faith-based all the way and I suppose that will turn off some viewers.

A bit of a slow start and the acting is a bit mechanical at first, but little Lucy is adorable and the end of the movie was very moving. A beautiful reminder that although God does not necessarily saves us from pain, He can use all things to do good. A Christian Christmas feel good movie with a sad yet heartwarming end.

Well done!!!!! This movie of faith, is well written and even better directed as evidenced by the superb performance by the little star. You don't get that kind of delivery without expert direction, so kudos to the directors. The film is cute, heartwarming, uplifting and yet is still a real tear-jerker. In the great sea of modern films, this one stands out for its ability to deal with some very hard issues without the vulgarity, nudity and drug use common to the industry. THANK YOU
