Dove Review

This movie makes the point that it is important to do what one loves in life. Freemont comes from a prominent family but he isn’t happy with his life. He works at a big firm as an architect but he is floundering. He quits his job and takes a journey to find out who he really is. In one scene he comes across some kids that need a tree house built and he builds one for them. He goes on to build tree houses for other families.

Soon he is building tree houses for underprivileged children and gets married. This movie is a shining example of the possibility of change. The acting is terrific including Corbin Bernsen, Richard Karn, and Ryan Schwartzman. We are very happy to award this movie our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages. You will love this movie about loving what you do!
