It's a fairy tale. A family of five loses a mother. A family of four loses a father. The two families meet while in the throes of grief and loss. And like a fairytale Brady Bunch story formed in the midst of a church setting, where she works at the Christian school and his profession is... not sure what he does actually...it provides reassurance that luck (miracles) can penetrate a gloomy existence.
As their families grow closer, all the people around them start to fear the worst. Those dumb people -"friends" and family begin to interfere with what appears to be a wondrous and beautiful miracle of a relationship, where two grieving families begin to mend.
In so many ways, this could happen, in many more ways it is unlikely. Much about this beautiful story just doesn't match reality. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this film. Like I said, it's a real life fairytale. Enjoy it for what it represents, and the potential happy ending it offers those in a similar situation: two charismatic and gorgeous widows with no flaws and five perfectly adjusted children...
Having dealt with loss in my life also it was a nice story with a good ending. I did not realize it was based on a true story until the end. The family was from Michigan also.
I love Lacy Chabert she does a great job no disappointment. This was the first movie I have seen Warren Christie in I thought he did a great job also. The ones who played the children did great too.
This was based on a true life Brady bunch like story.
It was beautiful to watch these two grieving families come together and support one another. I appreciated without any outside influences, that the family together was happy.
In circumstances that involve death, people come together and find some peace - while still remembering the ones gone.
Such a touching movie...

- GoofsThe double rainbow seen at the lake is not how a real double rainbow looks. The image shown is just one rainbow imposed above another rainbow, with both having the same order of colors. In a true double rainbow, the bottom rainbow will have red at the top and blue at the bottom, the second rainbow will have the color orders reversed, as the second rainbow is a reflection of the first rainbow.
