Dove Review

“Mr. Blue Sky” is a story of hope that focuses on a young woman named Andra Little (Ashley Ara Wolfe), who was born with Down Syndrome. She is verbally abused because of this handicap, and she has to stand up for herself to others. She is an intelligent young woman, who earns her associate degree.

Andra, Greg (Chaney Kley), and Bonnie (Mary Kate Schellhardt) were best friends growing up. Years later, Greg and Bonnie are a couple, but Greg discovers he has feelings for Andra when he sees her kindness and compassion. They are married and Greg’s father (Richard Karn) is not pleased about it. But Greg stays true to his love and his convictions.

The acting is excellent and the cinematography beautiful. This heartwarming story is happily awarded our Dove Seal for ages 12-plus. It will remind you that the skies still remain blue behind the clouds of life.
