This was a wonderful surprise. The movie had a higher than normal rating (7.1) which attracted me to watch it. Amber Riley was great in the lead role and she was the force behind its success. She portrayed an unstoppable vibrant beautiful good person who came through adversity. Beautiful singing in spots fit right in with the character.
The movie was gripping. The description did not do it justice. It was about kids that did not have a family to go to for Christmas and how one such kid overcame. Guess what- it is based on a true story. Well done.
Really it was a very simple movie. It was well done and was memorable. Only about 1 in 10 movies will I rate a 10. This one had that special something.
I enjoyed the girls (5 of them), the soon to be boyfriend and the professor in the supporting cast. They all contributed positively to the movie.
