An Unlikely Angel

 

An Unlikely Angel is about Janie Caswell (Jillian Murray), a workaholic who is falling apart at the thought of becoming a first-time mom. When Janie whispers a small, but desperate, prayer for help, it's answered in a very unlikely way by an angel (Robert Amaya) named Gabe. Gabe uses an unconventional method to get Janie to slow down, but will she be able to make better choices when given a 2nd chance with her family (Aaron Mees, Delyla de Castro)?

My Review: Are you trying to do it all and finding out it's hard? Perhaps your "control freak" personna is losing control. Many of us are trying to juggle so many things at once that we lose sight of what and who is most important. It's a lesson to be learned, and what better way than with humor and watching another person experience a "do-over."

Just seeing the name Robert Amaya assures you there is going to be fun, and probably a quirky character involved. He never lets me down when I see him on film. The rest of the actors have wonderful performances that evoke several emotions; I was especially delighted with the comedic timing of Jillian Murray ("Jane") as she attempts to adapt with unexpected changes.

This film reminded me a bit of What If? which is also available on Pure Flix (and I recommend it!) but the stories are not the same.

Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters movie review

 

Steve loves all three of his daughters – but does he really know who they
are? Discover the heartfelt journey of a dad who is desperately trying to hold onto his little girls but learns he must give up control and trust God with their future.

Watch the movie inspired by Dr. Meg Meeker’s best-selling book, “Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters." You can see this wonderful family-friendly film exclusively on Pure Flix.

When a wealthy businessman learns his daughter is engaged to a missionary, he embarks on a quest to keep her closer to home. But when his efforts go awry, he must learn to give up control and trust God with her future. Featuring real-life married couples Bart Johnson and Robin Lively AND Maria Canals-Barrera and David Barrera, this heart-warming film is directed by David de Vos. The movie also stars Carrie Wampler, Brandon Prado, Kayla DiVenere, and Everson White.

My Review: I really enjoyed this movie. It does address important issues like parenting, trusting God, and learning when it's time to let go. The father loves his family and truly wants what is best for them... and himself. It will touch the heart of every parent, especially those whose daughters are ready to fly the nest. Yet the comedic moments make this a big step beyond learning how to do better. Basically, it gives great insight, but the humor gives the movie a very special touch. If you are a parent, you already know how important it is to have a great sense of humor! 😉 I highly recommend you check this out on PureFlix!

“This movie isn't just a heart-warming story. It is a cry from every daughter's heart to her father, to give her the power only he can give to help her become an extraordinary woman.” – Dr. Meg Meeker
