No, there weren't any exploding helicopters and no heads of state needed saving, but human beings changed, and helped each other, gave each other the push to find the inner courage to do what made them happy in life. What more do you want? Beautiful scenery, tenderness, love, and incredible music? It's all there. I love this movie. It's gentle and powerful and it touched my heart.

How sad this sweet little film by Ami Canaan Mann was ignored by the public. It's on Netflix & I finally got to see it & really liked it. Ben & Katie were excellent together & I was pleasantly surprised by Ben's singing. The only thing I didn't like was I felt it was too short & a little more about their back stories could have been in it, plus the ending was too abrupt for my taste. But that's in editing & not the fault of the actors. If you like music & drama, you will really appreciate this film.

From the director of 'Texas Killing Field' comes a simple music- drama with a little romance in it. A plot that was built around when two people meet at a crossroad. One is looking forward breakthrough in the music career and the other one has been there. Besides a single mother fighting for a child custody as a subplot and other few extra characters were added for the movie to brighten up. That did not help to make the plot tighter and faster, instead left behind many unanswered. Anyway, most part of the narration stayed dry.Looking at the performances, location and the direction, it was not a bad movie. The story that progressed at a lazy pace is what I felt is the tumble. It should have been better, but still watchable film and not for everyone. It is another movie about the life's hardship. All about the personal life as well as the social life and finding a way to blend them together. Great cast, fine music and a decent ending. Overall, failed to impress, but worth a watch for being different and a slightly gripping due to the realistic approach.6½/10

I love the music. Its probably the best performance from Katherine so far. I look forward to more of the same. This film is really refreshing and real. The characters resonate the reality of what the majority of folks in this country are struggling to handle in present day America. The movie is addressing what is important in life. I found it to be a powerful expression of our need to accept responsibility for our own lives and our roles in life as true creators. The characters expressed what it means to live their lives in a responsible loving way. A way of living that gives respect to ones fellowman, not trying to control everything and everybody for ones own personal gain. It's about unconditional love and personal honor. How can that ever be boring?
