9.1. This movie is extremely nostalgic to me. It’s a great movie, and has my eyes watering throughout. Based on a true story, and the ending real life clips were a great conclusion. Danielle!

It’s really good even though it’s a little bit cliche, but that doesn’t make it bad. I love the fact that is based on a true story, and that this actually happened to people out there.
