    Believing in Yourself

    The skeptical reviewers miss the point. In fact, they take the position of Lizzie herself before she begins to believe in herself.

    That some of this movie appears hokey, over-the-top and unbelievable is perfect. It requires the same leap of faith for the movie viewer as the characters must take in the story.

    The script for this movie is brilliantly written and as timely today as it ever was. The casting and acting are wonderful.

    This movie makes a very valuable point: It's not a con when you help someone believe in herself. You do something wonderful when you help another find hope, faith and love.
