Ben Mehl as Trevor plays a visually impaired father to Ava Weiss (Annie). They are wonderful together and very believable as father and daughter.
Ava is quite charming in her role and the father daughter bond feels real.
Since Ben Mehl is visually impaired in real life, he's obviously acquainted with many, if not all, of the issues brought up in the movie. The sincerity of the characters helped me really identify with the topic of dealing with a perceived limitation and how people can react negatively or positively.
I wanted to watch a movie with a dog (Max). I soon became so engaged in the movie that really didn't think about Max's part being somewhat on the dow low. He is adorable and seemed well suited to the movie. For this review I did try to find out about Max but couldn't find anything. I was curious if he's really a guide dog.
Amber Marshall (Peyton - guide dog trainer and love interest) is an animal lover in real life and it shows on screen.
Definitely a great family movie that would also be good backdrop for having healthy discussions about issues covered by movie. Especially bullying at school.
