This is a feel good heart warming inspirational film based on a true story. It is faith based and seemingly pro-life. Religion and the Bible enter the film, but like so many modern faith based films, they avoid the "J" word (Jesus).
Apple (Vanessa Hudgens) is a 16 year old girl discarded by society and thrown on its refuse pile. In order to get off the heap and change her life around, Apple must take the first step and decide to change her life. She leaves her abusive mother (Rosario Dawson) and seeks out the father she never knew (Brendan Fraser). Dad is understanding, willing to help, but is not loving especially when he finds out Apple is with child.
Apple wants to have the child against her dad's wishes and through a series of circumstances finds herself in a girl's shelter where she experiences the first love and trust she has ever had in her life.
This is perhaps the best film entitled "Gimme Shelter" without Mick Jagger. Her decision at the end should have been better developed, showing a defining turning point. Brenden Fraser's character was a cut out and could have been more animated. Was that slick hair and awful suit how he really looked and dressed?
Worth viewing for those who like Lifetime type films.
