Sometimes I wish they wouldn't even try
clearthinkernow14 July 2017
While I try to watch all the "Christian" films and wish there had been more when my son was young, they're generally so badly done that I wish they wouldn't even try. Here the script is so routine and childish (you know exactly what each character is going to say beforehand) and the point (what are they trying to accomplish) so light, that the most it does is hold the genre up to ridicule and teach people who might be open that it's more than likely to be a waste of both time and money.

Why do all the characters in this movie seem to think that it's OK for a young woman to go and spend time with a strange man inside an airplane hangar? Does no one see the danger but me? Did she learn nothing with the other men she was involved with? What is the man thinking to invite her in? What do they want other "runaways" to learn here? That if you're good all the people that you meet will also be good? Doesn't work that way. I'd rather see them save their money and put it to genuine good use.

Did anyone else notice that everything in this movie is clean and new? Even the furniture and outdoor area and shelter kitchen that the homeless people use. Just like real life.

The background music with the young girl singing is also so bad that you want to cover your ears. Save yourself from this movie.

I really liked it
jmmustchin5 July 2018
I saw this film on Daystar's "Parables" show. It's really good. The plot is done quite well, and is quite emotional. Maggie - who was adopted - runs away to find her biological mother... only to find she is a prostitute who doesn't even want her. Afraid to return to her adopted home, she initially lives as a prostitute herself, before running away and living on the streets for some time, where she learns some important lessons. There is a bit of emotion involved, and you can't help but cry (happy tears) at the ending. It's a really good story about love and acceptance.
