You could tell that all these non-professional unknowns really tried their best to create this gem of a movie. IMDB doesn't even have pics or bios for them. Yet, I'm very happy I decided to watch this touching story about a grieving family's return to fulfilling their dreams as they rebuild their relationships. It may even inspire some who gave up their own guitars long ago to dig them out of storage.

Local movie made in a small community, but it's amazing the quality that was accomplished! While a few scenes and characters show the inexperience of the actors, for the most part solid performances are given. The cinematography is excellent and the soundtrack is awesome. Hard to believe all are amateurs...Hollywood, beware! This film proves you can make much better, more meaningful shows for less.
A story that will catch your attention and carry you through to the well-resolved end, leaving you feeling good about life and uplifted (rare in movies nowadays).
Great for all ages. No objectionable material, but there is one nighttime adventure that is spooky, and one light swear word that is a written joke, but is not spoken. Children would not even see it. It's so wonderful to have a really good, meaningful, fun film the entire family can enjoy together without worrying about hiding anyone's eyes or covering ears.
The message is clear, uplifting, and life-affirming for all ages. If you're feeling depressed, are struggling with life's challenges, have lost a loved one, watch this movie and feel lighter of heart after, without being preached to. If you just want to feel-good movie even your teens will enjoy, and to have some good laughs, watch this movie.
You'll find yourself humming the music after for days, and being glad to do so.

Community Film is the New Community Theater

I loved this movie. It was light and engaging. My 10-year-old looked at me after and said "When is the sequel?". It felt personal and connected.
Way to go to this incredibly talented team-making a film is not easy-and as a community---what a feat!
Music was also just the best-can't wait to download the album.

Great movie made by volunteers

I wasn't expecting to see a great movie since it was made by volunteers.
I was totally wrong. I saw a great movie. The acting was very good. The camera and sound work too. Maybe it is because i do not understand the concept but this was just like other professional movies.
So all who worked at this movie : great job done!
Good movie

As a cynical, jaded geezer in a cynical jaded era...!!...Home-Made Movies with this much heart are rare & sorely needed !! What a Treat "Original" is broadly defined as 'being new or Bibically 'Original Sin as the first cascading ripple still offending or pretending not to be unique or isolated. ...but simply stated 'from the ground-up one can only hope more such films are attempted & produced for the betterment of a' jaded humanity Thank-You for all the Great Original Songs & hundreds of hats worn by hundreds of folks young & old to create such a heartfelt movie !!!! A little cheesy you bet refreshingly so !!!! Inspirational & rewarding with hope, love & understanding !!!! " What's so funny about that ???? Nothing that's not Good & long-lasting if you ask me ?? Cheers.
