I love this movie so much

What makes it different from others?

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The previous reviewer's negative, anti-Christian and anti-American rhetoric almost seems deliberately contrived because it perfectly underscores the struggle that the protagonists in this beautiful story endured. This movie is about courage, triumph and redemption, in that order. The subliminal point of the movie's main hero is that when we willingly give up the "bread of freedom", one crumb at a time, we lose track of when the whole loaf is gone. This is also exemplified in the quote taken from Ronald Reagan's California Gubernatorial address in January of 1967, both at the beginning as well as the end of the story. Marshall Teague and Jennifer O'Neil are masterful in their interpretation of a senior couple still very much in love and just as importantly, still in unmitigated support of one another. The rest of the cast without exception, does a superb job of interpreting the various threads of the story line, whether their roles are villainous or virtuous.I cannot recommend this movie enough to anyone who is proud of what it MEANS to be an American and what it means to believe in someone much greater than ourselves. See it with someone you love, particularly if that someone includes a man or woman who's served or is currently serving in our Armed Forces.

This movie is a Fox News viewer's wet dream: factually inaccurate, racially insensitive, and wallowing in manufactured Christian persecution and martyrdom. We're so oppressed! We are only allowed to have our Christmas decorations prominently displayed in our homes and places of worship. They are stripping us of our right to force everyone in the country to acknowledge our religion too!The guys at God Awful Movies podcast put it best: Will America Freedom Jesus? Will Jesus Freedom America? Will Freedom Freedom Freedom? Find out the Jesus to America Questions and Freedom, when we Jesus back for act Freedom of America America Jesus!

As a classroom teacher this story really touched me. It is a great family film for the entire family! I thought it was heartwarming and very surprised by negative reviews. It really makes you feel inspired and very thankful for all the little things we all take for granted. I definitely think it is a film worth watching. On NETFLIX it got one hundred percent positive reviews! I just sat there after the movie reflecting on a lot of things and couldn't help but shed a few tears and have an amazing big smile. Give the movie a shot, watch the entire movie and I don't think you will be disappointed! It is not corny like other family movies it is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was a great movie. Yes, it was no high budget blockbuster, but just because it is a lower budget movie doesn't mean it junk. Yes the guns in it were m16's not m1a's. I am annoyed that most the people that wrote reviews are clearly anti-Christian (why do you watch Christian movies, is it just so you can complain and berate them). Yes, this was meant to be a slight exaggeration, but it things go the way they are it will be closer to possible. You can plainly see this trend that everything is OK except Christianity and having morals. Currently in the news, the Christian baker in CO that is in a court battle because he refuses to make a "wedding" cake for a homo-sexual couple. Agree or disagree its not the government's say. Hobby Lobby and their refusal for insurance that pays for the morning after pill, again agree or disagree not the government's say. There are a lot more events like this happening. During Christmas the PC phrase of happy holidays is encouraged more and more. I remember as a teenager in school sitting at a lunch table with other Christians, blessing our lunches and getting in trouble from the teachers. Why does the name Jesus offend you? History lesson, 1st-3rd century Christianity was illegal in the Roman empire. Rome, the most liberal government at that time and probably still to this day. People worshiped everything you can imagine, but Christianity was illegal. Ask yourself why. I'm sure this won't be posted but here is hoping
