This story tells how people "down and out" can change their life with help from God and His people. Wonderful cast and the singing is AMAZING!!!

Excellent Christian Movie

"Tommy (Darius McCrary of "Family Matters") is desperate to find a job, but no one wants to hire an ex-con. With no family & the only opportunity facing him being that of a drug runner, life doesn't look too promising. Then he meets Memaw (Irma P. Hall), a kind, elderly woman who hears Tommy's beautiful singing voice in the grocery store. What follows is a pleasant tale of how showing God's love can change even the hardest of hearts and that everyone needs a second chance. Also features Tamera Mowry (from "Sister, Sister") as Lily.
My husband & I have been looking for good Christian movies to show our youth group, & this definitely falls into that category. The script is well-written & realistic, the acting is excellent (who knew Darius McCrary could sing???), & the story never loses sight of it's goal...love changes people.
This movie will leave a smile on your face & your heart singing. If you're looking for a Christian movie without the B-acting & poor action scenes, this one fits the bill. No heavy end-times theme or confusing plot twists, this movie banks on the simple but life-changing truth of God's love."
Great for yourself or as a gift

"This is a very sweet movie that can be understood and enjoyed by almost everyone in the family. It also teaches very important lessons on witnessing, forgiveness, humility and choices. I saw it on TBN and knew that I had to own a copy."
Something to shout about \o/

Sweet movie about an ex-con who meets God & gets a full, love-filled life that he never dreamed possible -- up to & including a lot of difficult choices & decisions he never thought he would have to make ...
But, for me, the best part about this movie is that it is a perfect illustration of the kind of whole-life "make-overs" that only God can do \o/"
