    Loved seeing the talent of these young not-yet-professionals

    Loved the film. It clearly doesn't have the professional acting standard of big budget films but has much else to make it worth watching.

    What we were blown away by was the talent and creativity of these youngsters and how they've pulled in their family and friends for the acting, singing and presumably technical jobs. The visuals were great, and loved a lot of the creative format (although it did take a moment to realise and then get comfortable to the fact that there was going to be singing).

    I think some other viewers have missed the point - these are some home-schooled kids who had an interest in film and have done an amazing job to produce such a film - can you do better? Obviously if they had a big budget they could have hired some professional actors, got better sets, tightened up the story-line and made it faster moving.

    For a low budget film it is refreshing. I look forward to seeing what they come up with next.

    Good film but don't expect Hollywood quality

    This was a pretty good film overall. My kids saw it first and liked it so much, they insisted I watch it with them the next day. This is about a group of teens and their parents who try to help out a widow who is about to lose her home. They use a movie to do it, so it's essentially a movie about making a movie. It's part documentary (sort of), part movie, part musical. These aren't professional Hollywood actors, so don't expect that kind of quality - this is an independent film. The actors at times come across as stiff, but then they're mostly local folks who aren't intent on a Hollywood career. I'm not even sure these folks have stage acting experience. This isn't on the same level as the Sherwood films (Fireproof, Facing the Giants, etc.) but it does show that good movies can be made with creativity, determination, and perseverance.

    Great family movie

    This is a great family movie for anyone who liked "facing the giants" or "fireproof". I had the opportunity to meet Jeff Moore this past . weekend and hear about his beliefs. He is a very strong man with strong beliefs. This movie was paid for and produced by him and his family, there are parts in the movie where you can tell that it is an independent film. Over all, it has a great plot and the actors in it are great for being their first movie. This movie is great for people who love musicals.

    The Widow's Might--an experience like no other

    'The Widow's Might' is a heartwarming film, which I highly recommend. HueMoore productions has combined multiple genera, and succeeded. Their film is a comical western musical telling a story of modern day politics, religion and film making, teaching solid values while respecting the family--an impressive task. Yet, John Moore and David Heustis present a beautiful piece in stunning high definition blue-ray that clearly communicates their message without obscuring the storyline in any way. Unfortunately, The Widow's Might's strengths are also it's weakness. Some would say that as both writer and actor, John Moore's religious and political views are indeed radical. Yet for anyone who still believes in the family, still hopes for the Church, and yes, still holds on the widow's Might (Jehovah), viewing 'The Widow's Might' is an experience like no other.
