| Dallas Morning NewsDavid MartindaleUltimately, it's the polarizing ending that will have moviegoers talking long after they see it. |
| User ReviewScott CDoonby is a heartfelt story and John Schneider is captivating. This is a fine film from Peter MacKenzie and will get everyone talking about faith, morals, and the abortion issue. Films and Art are suppose to challenge the audience on point of view and this film exceeds that requirement. Have Fun at this film. |
| User ReviewJim CSuch an emotional ride! Jenn Gotzon is fantastic. She brought such an element of truth to Laura Reaper. A troubled young lady searching and longing for something better in life. In steps the mysterious Doonby who fills this void, not only in her life, but in the lives of the entire town. John Schneider embodies Doonby superbly. A humble man always placing the needs of others before his own. But even with all his goodness, evil and jealousy still loom among the residents. Betrayal, heartbreak, and finally, dismissal lead to strong a emotional scene in which Jenn Gotzon shines. The scene caused my heart to ache for her unnecessary and unfounded pain/hatred towards Doonby. The closing of the film truly evoked a strong sense of importance in me of just how valuable and precious every life is that we encounter in our own. |
| User ReviewJenn Gthank you for the opportunity to work on this powerful life transforming film |
| User ReviewSallie BGreat film, with a message. Filmed in Beautiful Smithville, Texas. |
| User ReviewHenry BProbably the best movie ever to bring realization to its subject matter. No one has written one like this... It tells the story like it should leaving an impression. The acting is amazing and it sucks you into the story immediately. Jenn Gotzon couldn't be better, john Schneider plays another great performance! |
| User ReviewJamie CA sweet little sleeper of a movie. I had my doubts at first, but by the end I was glad I stuck with it. It left me feeling a bit sad and it stayed with me a long time after I watched it. |
| User ReviewCatherine NI loved it the second time even more than the first. You have to watch this movie at least twice to fully appreciate it. How refreshing to see a main character with courage, talent, AND virtue. Joe Doonby has that rare quality of gentle, caring strength. Not for young children, but mature teens and up should see this thought-provoking movie. |
| User ReviewLigia RWhat a fantastic movie! John Schneider is amazing... so nice to see a movie with a moral integrity! |
| User ReviewDaniel LI seen this film in a test screen. This film has great acting and the story is thought provoking. After watching it, I told myself I had to watch it again because of the beautiful twist. I heard it's coming to theaters November 2013, I can't wait! It reminds me of Fight Club with the twists, I had watch Fight Club multiple times and I enjoyed each time. I will enjoy Doonby multiple times too. |
