When the movie started stating this story was based on real life events I was expecting that the main character James Adams was going to accomplish something stunningly remarkable but in the end it's just not that exceptional, on the contrary it's quite dull and non significant. That said the story is still pleasant to follow, with good acting from James Lafferty, Julie Gonzalo and the rest. Danny Glover plays a character we're familiar with for him by now, the old wise guy that has seen it all, nothing spectacular but it works in this movie. I wouldn't say I laughed a lot, just some giggles, but for a dramady it's worth a watch. It made me crave some waffles though.

No, this is not a great movie, and if you're looking for exciting action, move on. But I was surprised to find that the story is one that stayed with me well after I watched the show, in good ways. Unless you're completely unmotivated in life, this movie will probably give you a lift, a little inspiration and when you think about it later, maybe you'll think, "Hey, maybe there's hope for me, too!" I don't think it's corny or sappy, partly because it actually happened.

An entertaining story with good actors and directing and a believable story line. James Lafferty and Danny Glover do a good job.
