Inspiring. Worth the watch for sure...

58/100. It is an inspiring story but so very much a television made movie. I am not quite sure what it is about television movies that make them less effective. It?s a good story, but it is one cliche after another, way over sentimental and melodramatic. The acting is fair, the direction is contrived. The score is ordinary and mundane.
