The movie was realistic, apart from the onset of Alzheimer's was a little odd. However the almost total disregard, even virtual lack of acknowledgement, of the part that the homeless girl Christine played made me grieve big time. How selfish. How unChristian. If it were me I would want to go back to where David was found (the boys knew where it was) and bring her in. After all, Thanksgiving in Canada (and I suspect the US too) is about bringing in all those who are not blessed and blessing them too. You should look for someone who is alone then - we always do - and invite them to join the celebrations. It's part of being thankful. The Christian ethic was severely absent there. The family was clearly in a position to take in this young lady - we would and we are not as well blessed. At least some of her aspirations would be met. She is such a positive person and would have blessed those who helped.
I was planning to give this a 9 or even a 10, but the response (or lack of) with the family means it immediately fell to a 5. What a pity. How sad.

If only a real Christian attitude towards Christine were shown
A great encounter.
To do a movie about an alzheimers patient is quite difficult: but his story is touching because of the encounter of David and Christine: the young homeless girl helps him with all she can give: the dialogue between them is a great part of this movie. A dialogue full of tenderness and warmth.
A touching movie with very good performances of Shayla McCaffrey and Craig Lindquist.
Smaltzy!
Sadly the americans do appear to have a bit of a problem creating a proper film which involves "an Angel". Its almost certain that one does appear in this to take care of "dad" when he finds himself outdoors and surrounded by those great americans NONE of whom are capable of spotting someone (even in very cold snowy conditions) with alzheimers! Whilst there is a couple of good performances within the film but it really doesnt quite qualify for a film with a gospel message.
