  • When you are depressed and life has you down, look again and watch this movie. It is so inspirational and motivating. I try to watch it every time it is on. When I think for a second that I cannot keep up with the Jone’s, this movie makes me look at all the gifts I have received and realize just how thankful I am. An AWESOME, FABULOUS movie!! A 10+++

  • I loved this movie the first time I saw it. I thought it had a good meaning and stand point behind the screen. Also the actors Kelly Lynch and Thora Birch were excellent in it. It's really amazing what the human spirit can survive through especially when people are forced in a lifestye that really turns there world upside down. I love how Lizz Murray chose a different path than the one her parent's took and reached for her dream to better herself. I just feel bad that she lost her family to the outside worlds influences. Go Lizz make it happen!
