Faith Based Tearjerker
25 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I saw Ordinary Angels, starring Alan Ritchson-Reacher_tv, Fast X; Hilary Swank-Alaska Dailey_tv, The Next Karate kid; Nancy Travis-Last Man Standing_tv, So I Married An Axe Murderer and Amy Acker-The Cabin in the Woods, Angel_tv.

This is a faith based tearjerker that is also based on a true life story. Alan plays a happily married man to Amy, living in Kentucky with their two daughters. That is, until Amy gets sick and dies. Then, after his mother Nancy movies in to help out with his kids, his youngest daughter suddenly gets sick and needs a liver transplant. You got your tissues out yet? Hilary is a hairdresser that hears about Alan's situation and decides to help them out. Of course, Hilary has problems of her own that she is trying to deal with, including alcoholism and being estranged from her own son. Hilary decides to focus all of her energies on helping Alan and his problems while trying to ignore her own messed up life. It is kind of inspirational and there are several scenes that will make you tear up, so have those tissues handy.

It's rated PG for bloody images, drinking and smoking and has a running time of 1 hour & 56 minutes.

It's not one that I would buy on DVD-once was enough-but it would be a good one to stream if you like these types of films. My wife liked it better than I did.
