 |  | Saving Sarah Cain review DVD |  |
This is the story of how a modern day single journalist, who's only ambition was her career and her own selfish desires, life suddenly is turned upside down, when she comes the legal guardian of her 5 nieces and nephews after her sister died. Her sister and children were Amish, so on top of everything, there are strong cultural differences.
This is a powerful story about selfless love, a higher call than simply what we personally want. I found it very touching emotionally and inspiring to live for other's sake. We desperately need these reminders in today's culture.
I was surprised in this movie however, that it appeared that the Amish culture portrayed here was touched with more modern influences, than I had expected.
I highly recommend this movie, it was powerful and thought provoking.
January 2, 2009My wife and I watched this movie together and were very disappointed in it as a supposed movie of Christian values. The immodest and worldly dress, particularly of Sarah Cain and her competition writer at the newspaper made it difficult to watch. There was absolutely no reason to have their cleavage, and more, showing. (What was the purpose?) The story would have been just as powerful as far as getting the point across of the differences between the Amish and the city people without their cleavage showing and the tight clothes. This has been billed as a family movie, but we would NOT recommend this movie to ANYONE because of the immodest dress. We will not watch it again. Also, I was quite disappointed that there are so many reviews claiming it was a movie you could watch with your family, seemingly ignoring the immodest dress. From the reviews, it seems we are the exception in this day and age with concerns about immodest dress.

If you aren't familiar with Amish family life, this will give a a little insight. A non-amish family member becomes the guardian to five amish children through an unusual turn of events. You will love this movie. It was funny, interesting, inspirational and a real tearjerker. It gave you insight into a world that is different for most people. I highly reccommend it. Bevery Lewis,the author of the book,is one of my favorite authors.

We purchased this movie after seeing an interview with the director and watching some of the highlights. Television and movies have been absent of great programs that promote the family and benefits of family values for to long. Our whole family enjoyed this movie together and we all shed a few tears and at the end we all agreed that it was a very good movie.
October 19, 2008When will christian based movies not have tragedy in them?!! There were a few good things that i was able to use to teach my children about being an influence for christ and not becoming culturally polluted with the world's living. So, that was good. BUT, the whole movie, save about 10 minutes is sad. Death, loneliness, lying, despair...the list goes on. It's moving, and convicting to stay strong to your beliefs in Christ Jesus, but i know there must be other ways to do it without adding such sorrow. Acting was good, quality was great; story line sad.
