A movie I wanted to see so my nephew got it for me as a early Christmas gift. It's a good movie and a tear jerker for me and my mom cried.

This tearjerker involving a custody battle over an orphaned child prodigy could have been cloying and manipulative but thanks to a smart and intuitive script by Tom Flynn it avoids the potential traps of the form. This is not to say we don't have a rooting interest here but Flynn invests the combatants with depth and complexity that by the film's conclusion we are not left with any convenient heroes or villains. The film works as well because the ensemble is universally excellent. The heart of the film, though, would be the performance of McKenna Grace as Mary Adler, the pint-sized math wizard. Grace invests Mary with wit, toughness, precociousness, and an indomitable spirit that belies her tender years. Grace draws you into the tug-of-war involving not only Mary's fate but wellbeing that is genuinely heartbreaking. It's easy to dismiss a film of this nature but it would be advised to throw all inhibitions into the proverbial dustbin. A film that recalls the spirit of Douglas Sirk.

I enjoyed this movie very much. I have always been a Chris Evan's fan!!! The cast is wonderful!!! The Movie made me laugh and cry. The relationship between Chris's character and his niece, played by McKenna Grace, are touching and heartbreaking. A look at what a family really is.

A movie that helps you understand things from different perspectives and has decent character development. Definitely a movie for the whole family in most regards. There are some brief moments of adult ish content but other wise fairly viewable for most people.

Great movie for my daughter to watch and realize how blessed she is and that God is always in control no matter the situation.
