Fan5/5

This movie is truly full of gems This is such a heartfelt movie never watched before. My Sister and I were amazed from the start to the end. It taught me that you can have anything if you just believe, Stanley was believing that his life ended when his son died. I couldn't say so much more, Just go and watch it yourself, i already recommended the movie to 3 people. This movie is truly full of gems.
