Touches You

How sad is this?

Admirable film.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

ex Police officer feeling sorry for himself totally absorbed with his own pain forgetting he has a son. Decides he cant live without his wife any longer and i expect he feels guilty too as in part he feels it is his fault she died. Cue Angels ............ nope. No angels (or were they)..... was the homeless man an angel? You are kind of kept guessing also as to the fact perhaps also is Grace an Angel come to save him from himself? NOPE this is not Highway to Heaven.This is why i liked the film so much. Such a twist they actually BOTH saved each other. Grace said "everything happens for a reason............ i believe that too. She was going to be with her family on Thanksgiving and needed a lift, and Rick was going to be with his wife on Thanksgiving day.......... that chance meeting on the highway joined these two together and they both ended up healing each other. I really enjoyed it whilst we may be going through huge stuff in our own lives we forget others can be hurting way more and we must never forget just because we loose one member of our family there are not others who also need us too and that other people are dealing with worse stuff then us. It is worth a watch, and to those who stopped watching part way in, watch it again, it is not a preachy Christian movie at all.....yes it talks about God, but the end might just shock you. I cried several times i am not ashamed to say that. A sweet movie one for the family to watch.

I love Christian movies. In fact, i prefer them. But i couldn't get into this movie at all. It didn't seem believable. The girl just talked and talked to a çomplete stranger, prying questions. Almost like a precocious child would do, except this was a young woman. And I'm supposed to believe this guy is just going to open up to this girl he doesn't even know. It was boring, far fetched, and not believable. Sorry.. there aren't many Christian movies that i don't finish, because even when it is low budget, they are usually believable and have a good Christian message...i prefer that, because i usually come away with something that strengthens my faith, and makes me feel good, but i Just couldn't make it through this one. I found myself fast forwarding it to see if it got any better, but it just appeared to be more and more dialogue from the 2 of them, nothing was happening, just talking talking talking, bla, blah, blah. Fail.

In the movie Saved by Grace Rick, a former policeman who is still suffering from the death of his wife feels hopeless until he meets a woman called Grace. He soon discovers that Grace's story mirrors Rick's own. Even though at first Rick is completely unaware of this when he first meets her. The funny part is that the character of Grace shows up at exactly the right moment, when he is about to destroy himself. As the story progresses there is a rather romantic dance scene between the two co-stars, which is choreographed to flawless perfection. The movie gets a lot of strong points for it's good use of humor. Some of the life lessons that can be learned from this film include the fact that nothing happens by coincidence. As Catalina Rodriguez's character says everything happens for a reason. There is a slight emphasis on the meaning of life, which makes the people watching think twice about how they go about their everyday routine. Most people today are so busy with their constant routine to the point that they go on autopilot, like robots without stopping to think and just enjoy life. As the wise homeless man in the movie, played by Muse Watson says "sometimes you have to stop to smell the flowers."

Saved by Grace is a movie that takes people into the life of a man named Rick who is in a rather dark place after the death of his wife. During this time when Rick is about to do something he will surely regret a woman named Grace comes into the picture. There are many good things to be said about this movie like the fact that it gets a lot of points for originality. Most of the mainstream movies that people see these days are practically copies of ideas that have been used and recycled over and over again. The portion of the movie where the song called There You Are, is played serves as a type of theme song in this film. I may not be a musician but this song is probably on the list of the top ten I have ever heard. Johnny Remo certainly sets the bar for other filmmakers as Saved by Grace is one of those rare films that has a faith aspect and is also entertaining in the drama sense. This film is also great for families to watch because it would make them appreciate what they have, or it would help them relate if they lost someone in their life. With the natural talent that Catalina Rodriguez and Joey Lawrence have for acting they will be able to book many more fantastic films. This movie wouldn't be what it is without it's brilliant cast, and it's finest director Johnny Remo.
