Fan5/5

In Lawfully Yours is a movie about Jessie and Ben. Jessie is married to Chaz, but he found out he was cheating right before his father's death. offered to stay with her mother-in-law to help after the burial, where she and Ben, Chaz's brother-in-law, and the pastor fall in love with her and help her spiritually. Though they face mockery, they learn that relationships should be built around Jesus, and you should not give up on each other.

Fan4/5

What I learned from this movie is that cheating can destroy more than a marriage. It can hurt the whole family and reveal people's true feelings and character towards you. I also learned that true forgiveness does not mean ignoring the hurt. It means healing, letting go, and being open to new beginnings.

Fan5/5

This is an incredible movie, I started watching it at home before going to work, Sorry but, I couldn't wait to finish it. This movie is full of gems. I was very excited to finish it and spent about one hours to finish it. Jessie is smart, funny, brave. If you haven't watch it yet, i highly recommend it.One of the lesson i learned from her is that happiness is a choice. Despite all challenges she remains happy, patient and courageous.
