Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
lauren_alyse_saul Great premise for a film with an emphasis on faith and family, but was completely overshadowed by the significant plot holes that anyone could spot. Someone miserably failed a geography lesson coming up with this garbage. It was filmed in Louisiana and they even mention the name of a parish and speak of Louisiana on several occasions, but it is set in NC and the characters in one scene travel to Buncombe County (Asheville) to the courthouse. That's in NC, people! Hollywood, as a NC resident, let me give you a brief lesson: Louisiana and NC are not one in the same, nor are they a short drive from each other. And speaking of a drive, what doctor would drive cross country in a Beamer?? LA to Louisiana or NC would be several days drive and for someone to be that put together but not change clothing is highly unlikely. Trust me, my family moved cross country from Georgia to California and it took 4 days; not an afternoon. Also, throughout the film, the main character fails to mention that she's engaged which is the whole reason for the cross country excursion! Just no attention to detail with this movie at all, and this is coming from a big Candace fan!
sistertrudy The second song played during the Foundation Day Dance is NOT 'Stay" by Jake Smith as credited. It is "Something Like You" by Jason Martin & the Corner Pocket. It is available as a digital on Amazon & it is included on the CD The Blackout Sessions also at Amazon. You will be disappointed if you buy "Stay." What an injustice to Jason Martin & Corner Pocket. Time to get the lawyers involved. Jason Martin & the Corner Pocket are doing OK though. Two CDS on Amazon so far.I pay attention to the songs I hear in movies & watch the credits if I hear a song I like but can't identify the title or artist. This is a glaring mistake & should be corrected by those responsible. I pity the people who have purchased the Jake Smith CD!!
tychancho What a wonderful movie! The story is well written and well acted. So often, Christian films seem to be written over the course of one weekend, the dialog is unbelievable, and the acting is usually sub-par at best. Finding Normal is not only well written but the acting is wonderfully realistic and the dialog is not only believable but entertaining. Of course, if you're looking for the Hollywood standard in movies that discards any moral message, replaces action, sex, and special effects for thoughtful writing then you most likely will not enjoy this movie. On the other hand, if you're like our family and don't mind a movie lacking some of the "refinements" of secular films and are wanting entertainment that is wholesome and purveys a moral message then our family highly recommends this film! You will be pleased with the over all quality of Finding Normal.
Larry W Mayes A doctor (Candace Cameron Bure), eager to reach her new life in another city, is caught for speeding and when the license is run, is found to have a number of outstanding violations. At her hearing, she is held without in the town without incarceration until the fines are paid off and her car impounded as a precautions for a potential flight risk. Without local access to her regular means of cash for emergencies, the judge, being the town's secretly ailing physician, has an opportunity for some leisure in his remaining days and uses his less than willing detainee to tend to his many patients who need to be seen on regular rounds during his brief absences. Without a hotel and an open jail and without the use of her car, uses available transportation and the available jail cell each night as her hotel room and during the day makes rounds to his many patients. Over the short time the doctor (Bure) reflects on initial hardships and those she has met and begins to look at life in this small town and the contrast of the life of as a city physician, a physicians's wife while being drawn to a local man. A light romance that injects a twist on the Doc Hollywood. With some funny moments this warm, light romance is a keeper that I will see again and again.
