- S: The film is unfortunately full of plot holes, nonsense decision making, and artificial plot drivers. Of particular note are the young homeless boy's open wiring in his family home, the robbing of homeless people,
a choice not to go to shelters especially given the desire to help others find shelters,
a hospitalization, and a mother's avoidance of using her money to pay for a motel for her uprooted family.
- C: The camera work is very simple and amateur. The film shows its low-budget colors far too regularly, with poorly lit scenes, strange sets, and worst of all some copy-right free music littered throughout.
Just because a film is low budget doesn't mean it should look that way. Also makeup and costuming feel off in a film where the homeless attire and look are critical.
- E: The film's narrative issues compounded with poorly acted badly written dialogue make for a tough watch. This layered on top of shoddy camera work,
weird looking sets, and very bad music makes the film attrocious.
This is one of the first movies in a long time that I've seriously considered leaving the theater before it was over.
- N: The biggest issue is that the film is meant to shed light on the challenges of homelessness in attempt to draw support, but it paints the homeless characters as fools some of whom are homeless by choice.
The story is extremely predictable, corny, derivative, and stretched far beyond what it should be. The ending is so haphazard that it feels like they added 30 mins to the run time just for the sake of it.
The cancer treatment portion is so sudden and also so irrelevant to the story at large that it looks like they just stuck it in there to fill time. The ex-dancer aspect doesn't really work, the dialogue is very poorly written.
- T: The film received no bonus points.
It feels bad talking down on a low-budget movie made for a good cause, but when the film is this bad it does more harm to the cause than good.
The film does such a bad job of communicating the very real suffering of the homeless and instead tries to make a cute, young romance, feel-good story with some homelessness thrown in.
This might be the worst movie I've ever seen.
