    Tears for everyone!
    This is a real tear-jerker. There are many movies along these lines, but this film executes this theme excellently.

    Hillary Swank plays a character much like Erin Brockovich. The real person was not an alcoholic and was not estranged from her son, but she was okay with this embellishment, perhaps in exchange for money. There are other deviations from the facts for the sake of entertainment, but the core story is true.

    While many of the characters are religious, this is not a movie that is trying to shove religion down your throat. It's just that the events take place at the start of the Bible Belt, namely Louisville, Kentucky.

    This film is worth viewing. It may inspire you to overcome obstacles in your life and help others to do the same.

    Tear Jerker
    This movie was an amazing! It definitely pulls on your heart strings! I cried at least a handful of times while watching this movie!!! It is very relatable in the way that any of us could easily see the struggle and feel for the family. Without spoiling anything it was just such an incredible movie! I recommend it to everyone! I really did not think this movie would be as good as it was. My kids watched with me and they all cried too. It's not just the sad crying. It's the happy/sad/relieved/hopeless crying that this movie caused. Hilary Swank has always been a favorite of mine, but this movie made me love her even more! She killed her role! The actor who played Ed was just perfect for the character. Watch this movie! You won't regret it!
