Dove Review

This inspiring story is an allegory of Jacob and Esau’s story from the Bible. Set in modern time, it tells of twin brothers that both want their father’s affection and love. One son, Ethan, is like his father when it comes to sports and has great athletic abilities while the other, Jack, is more of the book type. So when their Dad becomes ill, their Mom takes things into her own hands and changes his will which has an effect on everyone’s lives.

This is a faith influenced story about how the choices people make affect themselves along with the others around them and the power of forgiveness. We award this movie the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12 and older.
