Based on Real People
By Jay B. Lane
The shelter would be for a runaway girl who has become homeless and now finds herself pregnant. She had left home hoping that she could find her successful father but now it looks as though she may be repeating her unwed mother's turbulent story.
Writer/director Ron Kraus ("Amexica") inspires his actors, both with his words and his direction. There were several long, single-take scenes that were notable. Watch for the one at the front door with Dawson and Dowd. I'll keep an eye out for this guy.
Here is some of the cast:
* Vanessa Hudgens ("Machete Kills") is Apple, our desperate runaway; her mother is a drug addict; her foster families don't work out; she has no job, no life skills, and no resources; now her new-found father wants her to have an abortion.
* Brendan Fraser ("Inkheart") is her father, Tom Fitzpatrick, a successful Wall Street businessman. He was only 19 when he fathered our heroine and bailed out on her mother because his parents wanted him to go to college.
* Rosario Dawson ("Zookeeper") is the reason our gal ran away: Mom is a drug addict and a prostitute...reason enough, don't you think? Her actions are chilling; our screening audience gasped during one scene.
* James Earl Jones ("Jack and the Beanstalk" voice) brings hope with his role as the white knight who comes galloping into our wounded girl's broken life, insisting that things CAN be better.
* Ann Dowd ("Side Effects") is Kathy, the practical and loving woman who provides that much-needed shelter.
This PG-13 story is based on true incidents in the life of a pregnant runaway, with some very welcome photos of the real people during the final credits. I LOVE it when that happens! Amazon will let me know when the DVD is available; I always notify my JayFlix.net folks.

Great Movie
By BackToTheFuture
Great story, and I feel the director hit the objective by making it feel authentic. It's a realistic story about working your way through the bad, and finding hope. If you don't like realism in a movie than this might not be your cup of tea. It's a serious movie and it teeters of course on the abortion issue, but it's not really about that...instead it focuses on humanizing the girl rather than making her some kind of propaganda machine, and it also shows how there are a lot of great people helping others out there, and how a community of people in a bad situation can come together and create a positive environment for themselves. There is a lot of emotions and issues going on in this movie...it's not for someone that wants to just be entertained, it's a real film that makes you think. It's a work of art as far as I'm concerned.

Beyond a doubt, THE best movie I've ever seen!
By Natalia Mathai
This movie was awesome! I saw it at the cinema and was so moved by it. I left with a restored hope in humanity, knowing that there are people like Kathy DiFiori doing what they are doing to help right the many things wrong in our world today.
Vanessa Hudgens and Rosario Dawson blew me away! Their characters are so authentic. I was intrigued by every scene and new development in the story. I don't want to give any of it away, there was just SO much in this story that I loved. Many attack it and I honestly can't fathom why!? It's so well acted, real and professional. So exciting, moving, inspiring, and enlightening. It's not a well-known film but I hope that will change! I definitely recommend this movie to everyone.
Cannot wait till my DVD copy gets here so I can show it to everyone I know!
We need more real stories like this. I will never forget it.
