These reviews are CRUCIFYING this movie

Like it wasn't anything extraordinary. The 'dating your best friend's sibling' trope is a huge hit-or-miss for me, and this was a capital, proper Miss.

But it was cute... eh, at times. The moms really carried, honestly

*I asked Him…
What did you ask Him?
To catch me. *

A Nicholas Sparks kind of romance film with a Christian aspect to it. For a partly Christian film its messaging is rather vague and not as often as one would come to expect. The plot was intriguing in its overall form but the content could benefit from some changes. The way an IVF was placed in equivalence with being adopted was a little far fetched and a bit of a stretch perhaps instead the separated twin at birth could be better. The reaction from Andi (Sarah Fisher) as she finds out was too over the top and unwarranted. However, what is especially interesting is what I want to call the dilemma of the long lost twin, where the long lost twin Andi is now confronted with two lives once she left Nashville, Tennessee for Birmingham, Alabama. She begins to develop relationships with her family by nature as she leaves behind her family by nurture (but her mother Jenny still actually gave birth to her), but the struggle is very present, as she becomes important to both families which are both more than eager to love and accept her. Andi has this moment of temporary joy as she connects with the grieving family and helps them through their grief, all the while we know that she will inevitably go back to her family of birth. The film’s shortcoming is in portraying all these characters as being only good, so there isn’t that much of tension and conflict, which is unrealistic and not a great for the plot. Even when characters might have slightly self interested desires they shut them down and back down away from such thoughts. You have the slight juxtaposition between Matt (Austin Robert Russell) and Dawson (Jake Allyn), as Andi becomes more like London she falls for Dawson and Matt just simply backs down. What’s wild is that Andi ends up being even more ideal for Dawson than London herself was. I mean characters should be able to fight for their wants and desires, it’s all too obviously confined by the narrative and plot. The choice of playing music to largely cover the sounds of sadness takes away from audience empathy for the character’s predicament, just tones it down. They should just let it be, allow the audience to sit with the discomfort and anguish that the character is feeling. The decision for using music as a way of being a way for expressing underlying emotions was nice creative choice, like when Andi and Dawson are on jet-ski together and they are gradually falling for each other, Colbie Caillat’s Fallin’ For You begins playing. The structural parallels of the beginning to the ending was sweet where both are about to enter surgery for the kidney transplant, it’s like a second chance and a do over, a miracle of sorts. The acting was quite decent for a Christian film and entertaining. If I ignored the lack of realism and lived in the narrative utopia of the film’s constructed world then it’s a great film with a decent plot for a film about romance and grief.
