i found this movie very emotional but lifting in the spiritual sense well acted and very insiring

Incredible movie! But, typical because in case you didn't notice, it's a Jefferson Moore movie! You have to expect the best. The Perfect Stranger, Another Perfect Stranger, The Perfect Gift, Clancy etc. This is different from his normal style, but a winner just the same. Plus, I love Mark Smeby, in 1 Message and Perfect Gift and can he sing! However he is not in it enough, but when he is, he is unforgettable!

It is a very emotional movie. Great casting, story and acting. It will suck you in quickly and you will feel her every pain and fears. Moore has such a way of cutting straight to the heart, with his faith and how he brings it into our lives, teaching us things we things we may have not thought of or considered.

The movie, as all his work, is just another masterpiece. I own every work he and wife Kelly have done. I think all of us should see it and learn the empathy needed in this time of our lives. It is a winner!

Amazing depth and realism on just how life can leave one broken and isolated. Not many can understand or articulate that topic as well as this movie did. And yes, there was a level of sadness... But, that was overshadowed by hope, love and the message of Jesus and forgiveness. I have many movies I seem to watch only once but will see this again.

With October being breast cancer awareness month, this was a very appropriate movie to review. Becca is a young woman whose life falls to shreds when she is diagnosed with breast cancer. It was hard to watch her be so mistreated by her fiance', her mom and others during what was the hardest time of her life. It was also not difficult to see that she hardened her heart and decided to hide away.

Her brother reaches out to her by buying her a computer to try to reach through her shell. He encourages her to try to try one of her former loves: genealogy. When she does she finds a link to hope that she thought was completely lost.

While the plot and ending of this movie were very predictable, it was still an enjoyable movie to watch.

Watching this email made me wonder how many Becca's surround us on a daily basis?

Thank you to Echolight Studios for providing this DVD for review.

I'm a kind of a movie nut and find nothing more relaxing than giving myself permission to sit and watch a movie. I love this time to just kind of "check-out" and be entertained. Besides this is good research for a writer to see how characterization is handled and to get ideas. No, joking. For real and for true. (I did say I have to give myself permission here.) So here is another movie review for you:

1 Message is a story about a young woman named Becca who seems to have it all until she's diagnosed with breast cancer. Her life pretty much does a 180 and where the movie starts is at the end of that turn around and she is not a pretty picture. As the story progresses the story behind her story unfolds in bits and pieces and we slowly get the full picture of what brought Becca to this shut in place in her life. The title, 1 Message, refers to a single email message that is the catalyst to turning her life back around and Becca's journey back to the land of the living.

The movie is really done and the acting high caliber. Yes, this is a faith based film and in my opinion, one of the best kinds. I love stories like this where God's more in the background putting the pieces in place. Kind of like the book of Esther in the Bible. And the ending is far from predictable. It's a tad bittersweet but definitely full of encouragement and hope.

I definitely recommend this movie if you're looking for something on the more serious side but not too serious and with some great doses of humor. Inspiring, well done and time well spent being entertained with quality material (i.e. not a waste of your time).
