    Fun yet harmless

    It's a very cute movie with a surprisingly charming cast, telling a very apt interpretation of the Prodigal Son story. Somewhere near the middle it begins to drag - the whole European caper needs a little more suspense and action and detail - for many viewers might not get what's really happening. Also there's one key question (not going to say it here) that isn't answered sufficiently at the end. But all in it's a pleasant story with a lot of realistic family matters that makes it seem like the kind of movie we need more of these days.

    Don't trust this fund .....

    The bottom line is a big 0 !

    I must state the first 35 minutes of this story (I'm not going to label it a 'movie') is rather interesting and kept my attention. BUT after that all the money spent on this disaster was a pitiful waste. It could have been put to better use buying food for an animal shelter.

    The character Reese Donahue (who's Miss Wildthing in the beginning) becomes little miss goody thing and the syrup in this flick just keeps getting thicker and thicker. It's a hairpin twist from 'I don't care' to 'All I want to do is be good'. The only reason I stuck with this story was to find out what was to become of Milo. And it's a long wait for that and you still don't really know.

    Awful!

    It was ok....took a while to get going

    It was an interesting twist on the prodigal son from the Bible, but somewhere along the way, I just kept thinking that the older sister reminded me so much of Elsa from Frozen.....and now I can't unsee it. The lead character is obviously Anna, her roommate is Olaf.....you get the picture. I kept watching wondering when she was going to burst into song, but sadly, it never happened.

    All joking aside, the move is ok. It takes a very long time of getting to a conclusion. The lead character definitely did not deserve how her father treated her, but it shows how God's grace is given even when we don't deserve it.

    Excellent production value and storyline

    Well done ... excellent cinematography and storyline.

    Hard to believe it was not funded by a major industry player. Set design, audio, color, and acting far exceed b-movie value. Great to see an independent film under a million dollars look like a 10 million dollar production.

    The whole film was shot in Kansas City with a few "cameo" appearances of footage shot in Italy.

    The story has a nice message; is well scripted; and is a chick flick hit for sure. The young woman sitting next to me during the movie became tearful at least 3 times.

    Horrible

    Quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Who ever wrote the screenplay basically copied and pasted every cheesy line from every cheesy movie.
