Dove Review

This is pretty good story-telling as several character’s lives intermingle and small miracles, if there are “small” miracles, occur. Some characters help others out; for example, a gas station attendant helps a woman with a broken down car, some teens sing Christmas carols to shut-ins, and a character changes and becomes a giving person. He donates a meal to feed the hungry people who were stranded at a gas station with car problems. In a nice scene a pastor tells his youth minister that sometimes you do the right thing because it is right, not because you will necessarily see a result.

The acting is very good and the film is nicely directed and edited. Stephen Baldwin gives a strong performance as do the other cast members. The viewer sees real people and real problems in this story, and sometimes the answer is not clear for a time, but there are signs of hope and the characters find this truth. We are pleased to award our Dove Seal to this wonderful film.
