Music and Messages of the film make it worth watching!

Lilly's Light: The Movie is a musical that shows people that they always need someone. The characters are fun and the songs have great messages. This film is enchanting and heartwarming.

Lilly's Light: The Movie is about a woman named Lilly, played by Sherry Hursey, who was a foster kid as a child. When Lilly becomes an adult, she uses a lighthouse to create a home for other foster children. A young boy named Daniel, played by Vitor Philipe, just lost his grandmother, his only known family member, making him a foster kid too. Lilly invites him to the family, but he declines and says he doesn't need anyone. But, Lilly and the kids take Daniel's book bag to keep him at the lighthouse long enough to convince him that he needs them after all.

The writers of Lilly's Light: The Movie uses storytelling to tell about the adventures of the foster kids. The scenes switch back and forth between the past and the present as the story is told. The set of the movie is colorful and appealing. For example, the colors of the furniture in the lighthouse give the house an artistic vibe. All of the songs in this film have a positive message. For example, the song "Life Is Full of Possibilities" gives us the message that anything can happen in life. I like the talking goose, but the part I like the most is when Daniel realizes that he needs Lilly, because even though his grandmother is no longer with him, he has a new family now.

The message of Lilly's Light: The Movie is family isn't just your relatives, but it's the people who love and care for you. There aren't any inappropriate things to look out for in this film. This is actually a family-friendly film.

The music and the message of Lilly's Light: The Movie makes this film worth watching. I give this film 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to ages 5 to 13.

Lilly, the keeper of the lighthouse, is played by Sherry Hursey (Home Improvement, Bring it On). The eclectic cast includes Fred Willard, Mindy Sterling, Gregory Paul Martin, Jean-Luc Martin and Hal B. Klein. With a melting pot of foster kids, a few exotic talking pets and a cast of zany characters, Lilly helps guide the children through the challenges of everyday life and growing up. With joy, love and laughter as her tools, Lilly helps everyone learn that "Life is Full of Possibilities!" Lilly's Light illuminates the significant social issue of challenges facing foster children nationwide as well as entertains children through music and song. Young children in particular will enjoy the original songs.
