    Family movie-3***

    I watched this movie, found it to be lighthearted. You don't need to know about uniforms,rank etc. It's a family movie not meant heavy in drama. In my opinion, just an enjoyable film to give an audience a few hours hours reprieve from whats going around us. Therefore, view it as what I seen as Bailee, lead actor captured her character with emotion.

    Anther Teen Drama

    Christian theme, this time incorporating the Afghanistan War as reason for the problems of several of the teens. Very slow and predictable at times. Not as good as a Hallmark Movie, but similar.

    Heartwarming story

    Absolutely loved this movie. Good morals and real world youth social hurdles.

    Very disappointed

    I really like Baillee Madison's work, so I was really looking forward to this. But this movie is genuinely the worst movie I have ever seen. And I know that is very harsh, but it is undeniably true. The script is very dry and cheesy, and the acting is incredibly stiff. In general I feel as though the actors are talented, but they just have a really awful script to work with. I don't know if it was because she was the only other lead besides Bailee Madison, but the girl who played Savannah was very stiff and unnatural. There were times when the scenes with her would be flat out cringe worthy, because of her stiffness. She seems like she has a lot of potential, so I hope she works on her acting. And that also goes with the other girls. And honestly everyone. Also the "bad girls" were just girls that wore put together outfits and heavy makeup, and acting out a little bit???? And the "good girls" wore minimal makeup and lighter clothing. I get that there trying to show an obvious difference between the "good" and "bad" girls, but did they really need to use makeup and clothes to distinguish the characters??? I also feel like there were a lot of could lessons that good have saved the movie, but they just flat out fell through. At least they have pretty good diversity?????

    Excellent Family Movie

    Great movie with great moral under tones. Very much enjoyed the military appreciation aspect to the movie and the point of being your own person. So many young people today feel like they have to conform with everyone around them this movie does a great job of explaining that being yourself can be of great appeal to everyone around you. Movies with a good moral message will certainly attract some audiences more than others but overall this movie was well done even though some aspects of military uniform accuracy within the movie could've been better. As with many low-budget films there are somethings you have to just overlook. Great family movie should be enjoyed by all ages.

    • Trivia
      The 'Special Ranger Handshake' shared between Dusty and Savanah is an invention by the production designer, Lawrence Kim, who came up with a special handshake for his nephew who, as of release, serves in the Armed Forces (Air Force Command).
    • Goofs
      When Dusty is first introduced to the class, one of the students makes a comment, to which Mrs. Preston responds to try to act their age and not their I.Q. as a way of telling them to "grow up." The correct phrase is to act their age and not their shoe size, as their shoe size is usually a lower number than their physical age while, in this case, their IQ would be much higher than their age. In essence, she was telling the student to act less mature, not more mature.
