Nonureva Really Surprised!
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
nichole-ekman This film is a rare treasure. It is authentic. Godfrey's pure joy and innocence is a treat to witness. Benjamin's vision becomes a reality. The journey the two take together touches so many people. We really are all connected. One person's dream can carry so many …to all of us in the audience watching the movie. The music is outstanding and the emotion captured on film literally had me laughing with tears of joy. What a feeling. To ride the wave of these two, Benjamin and Godrey, and what they created together. Yes! I highly recommend seeing this film and sharing it with others. It might just renew your thoughts of what is possible and put it all on the line for yourself.
