Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

David Sousa I saw this movie with no expectations, but i was at least waiting for something watchable, but oh my...This is probably the worst movie i saw in the last 10 years, i could say the acting is awful, but awful isn't quite the word to describe it. I just hope someone takes my advice and avoid losing 100 minutes of your precious life.There's nothing good about this movie... The kid isn't a wonder-kid, it doesn't sing all that well. The dad is laughable because it's a military hip hop wannabe, it's makes Vanilla Ice look like 2pac. There's a lot more i could say, but i want to forget about this very soon, so i will say no more...

frenchfry-17947 This movie has a target: the Fox watching, ghost-believing conservative American. Unless you are not in their target market, be ready for over an hour of awful acting, predictable plot with sprinkles of American Idol, Reuben Studdard included. All the stereotypes are there, from the pastor jump-starting the career of the little Christian boy to the ghost of the kid's dad in fatigues, with the three judges including the rude one, the comedian (a rip-off, quieter version of Larry the cable guy) and the one in the middle. The reason why I grade it a 2 and not a 1? No Kirk Cameron or Kirk Cameron nonsense. There are better ghost/feel good movies out there, much worst movies as well, but unless you are hoping for a movie like that, you will be sorely disappointed for that waste of time.

kcampbell1972 This movie was the best movie that I have seen in a very long time. It will definitely make you cry. I really enjoyed the music as well. All I can say is that this is a must see movie. I really can't even say enough about this movie without giving it away. I have it on netflix and everyone that comes over, I make them watch it with me. After watching it, they walk away feeling a little better about their life and a little sadder for all of the men and women who are still left fighting for our country. I will continue to pray for the safe return for our brave men and women who are still fighting for our country. This movie just goes to show the world how children are affected by the death of their loved ones. It doesn't seem fair that these children have to go through such a tragedy at a very young age. My deepest sympathy goes out to these children.

angelicseven As much as I hate to say it, this movie was poorly done; lacking the kind of quality most viewers would expect to see. That has you wondering if it could get any better. It is not a movie I would care to watch over & over and or would brag to others about. I didn't find it entertaining, enjoyable and meaningful. Nor like the website, that describes it as being... uplifting, inspiring and healing.This movie should be redone better than it was. Because it comes off looking like a home movie shot by an amateur. Or something left over from the retro B-movies.Locations throughout the movie looked runned down, unkept, vacant and as if dressed up. Most movies have that special lighting & appealing colorization that this one doesn't have. The plot seem a bit too choppy and character development not clearly defined. What I gathered is... Lifted (2010), seem to depict a perfectly good teen surrounded by unfortunate circumstances & bad people. With the teen's rise to success comes certain unexpected loss at the end. The only best part of the movie is near the ending, which still left something more to be desired. The only person that was recognized in the movie is Chris Adkins. Uriah Shelton and Ruben Studdard are the only ones I liked seeing in the movie. Most everyone else didn't seem to fit in, as they weren't what one would expect to see in movies. The viewer is left to figuring things out on there own. The dad didn't resemble anything like the teen, which made one wonder if he was a boyfriend or step-dad. I thought the mother was going to either group therapy or some alcohol anonymous place. We are left wondering if the dope addict mother or the drunken no-good grandfather does any better, since the teen accomplished something. I feel the dad should of lived and the two wasted family members should met their maker.
