This love story has heart The Notebookthe unexpected twists and turns of a Nicholas Sparks novel and angst The fault in our stars: Proof is your exhausted tissue box. What elevates I still believe is that true. If it wasn’t, it would be too corny and tired to be accepted as reality. But Camp told this story at concerts for years, and the events really happened to him and his first wife, Melissa. Most of the story takes place at the Orange County Bible College that Jeremy and Melissa attend, and there’s no shady character here: these kids are doing the right thing, trying to make good decisions, and all in all, they’re great role models. There’s a point where their actions count — and you’ll definitely want to talk to the kids about what might have been a better way to handle it — but it’s easy to see that at least their hearts were in the right place. Yes, Jeremy and Melissa may be too good to be true (and, really, who could begrudge them perfection?), but they’re exactly the kind of people most parents would want their kids to spend time with.

This is a complete faith-based film and a victory for the Christian creative community. A tragic, young adult, biographical romance set to music is a brilliant approach: I still believe mixtures A walk to remember with Rocketman. And kudos to directors Andrew and Jon Erwin for refraining from making a film about Camp’s rising star status, instead letting it subtly happen in the background. The film is beautifully shot – if only we could all live in a world lit by cinematographer Christopher Kimlin. From the characters luxuriating in a sun-drenched room to the smoky haze radiating through the window, Kimlin may have invented the “god” filter. Apa and Robertson are wonderful together, and co-star Gary Sinise shows a natural ease. Although the script could use some improvement, overall it is on par with most romance movies. And of course, there are a few things a cynic might take issue with, but given the squeaky clean story, wonderful characters and positive approach to some of life’s toughest moments, parents may think their prayers have been answered.
