The young man’s grief, over the loss of his mother and sister in a car accident, is handled with care and respect. His grief was not exploited in the plot. Adam had a lot going for him–he’s extremely likable and his vulnerability is protected and cared for by his best friend and this friend’s older brother on more than one occasion. Part of the film focuses on Adam coming of age, meeting girls and going to parties and making choices.

There are scenes that any person who’s ever dealt with grief, either as an adult or a child, will identify with, and their hearts will possibly be opened to new insights. This film displays many good qualities in dealing with the issue of grief. It is awarded the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12+.
