oh my gosh!!!
9 December 2014 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Such such such an amazing movie! I wandered over to this movie on youtube cause i was watching movies on youtube one day and i watched the whole movie. It was so inspiring and it was so so amazing to see someone not let his disability get to him and i love how he overcomes his disability. The acting was so great and it was so sweet. Brad Cohen has such a sweet heart. he has such an amazing heart for children and he has such an amazing heart for teaching. I loved how determined he was. I hope people watch this and they open their eyes to see that God can use anyone no matter what disability they go through. he is such an inspiration and i enjoyed this movie so so much.
