Dove Review

This is an awesome movie! It covers some relevant topics including forgiveness and the fact that God’s plan takes time to come to fruition. Nathan (Jason Burkey) is a former basketball star with the nickname “Hoops” Hannigan, and he did not accept a scholarship but instead pursued his dream of being a writer. No one could understand his decision including his fiancée Sharon. While Nathan is away she winds up with his best friend Jeremiah. Nathan learns this upon returning home to propose to Sharon.

As the years pass by Nathan holds on to his bitterness toward Jeremiah and can’t see that Jeremiah’s sister, Miranda, a beautiful girl’s basketball coach, is in love with him. Nathan also deals with a rocky relationship with his father (Kevin Sorbo). Ultimately Nathan must decide whether to hold on to his un-forgiveness or finally release it. This movie contains important themes and a good story. It points the way to keeping faith in God. We are pleased to award this movie our Dove Seal for ages twelve and above. See this movie as soon as you can and you will be glad you did.
