I don't want to call this a "Tear Jerker", but in some ways there has some elements that could have the makings for one. We have a teenage girl who's pretty, talented in writing, and can sing, but she's doomed to death as she's suffering with terminal cancer of the brain. She decides it's best to just cut everyone off from her, but God doesn't have that for her, and then enter Craig on fire for the Lord, or so everyone thinks, but in his heart he feels a lacking as he's doing the Lord's work, but his soul is crying out for passion. Enter Darby Peters the girl with terminal cancer to the brain. She shows toughness, but Craig won't give up on her, and once he starts being her friend her wall starts to crumble, but Craig wants to go the next step further(not sex),and that's to lead her to the Lord, but Craig hits some obstacles, and some of it is from himself. The one scene in this movie is when Craig is talking to his youth minister, and he tells Craig that God will direct a person to him in his own time, but Craig doesn't want to hear that because Darby's nearing the end, and then there's Darby's lack of faith where once she may have believed in God, but because of the illness she blames God, and while it's o.k. to tell God how angry and hurt you are to remember to pray for guidance, wisdom, and strength. There's another scene that I found rather interesting is where after Craig and Darby have an argument, and Craig leaves, and Darby goes home, and reads the Bible, but if you look outside her living room window it looks like Craig's out there jogging back and forth, and while I'm sure that Craig was praying hard for her soul, and so forth it was rather interesting they portrayed it that way. The best scene would have to be at the Youth Revival where Darby sings about seeing the love of Jesus in Craig's eyes. A very beautiful touching song, and if I can find it somewhere on a cd I will buy it; Craig can now be at peace that Darby will be in heaven when she dies, but he prays that he'll have somewhat of a life with her, and that's done up rather well when Darby goes on a family trip, and leaves Craig her memoirs which helps Craig know that Darby wants him too. I say this is geared towards teenagers, but for adults on the rebound whether through divorce, or being widowed like me. This can be still inspiring as it can help ignite your passions again, it can also remind you to seek the Lord. This was a little bit too much at times, but it's still worth watching.

To quote the film: This is the final edition point of view. I saw the movie on TV (I'm not sure what station) and absolutely had to get the video. The film is touching and poignant, very relevant for today's teens who are dealing either with a life-altering condition, such as cancer, or with a personal struggle to understand why life is as it is. I would strongly recommend this film, not just to teens, but to anyone who needs understanding in their life. The film is excellently directed and very well-acted; the story comes full circle in just over an hour. The way Craig shows Darby the way to peace and understanding is very similar to the way that my wife is helping me in my walk with Jesus. Overall, the movie is outstanding, delivering a purpose while tugging at the viewer's heart strings.

Oh my gosh! This is such a wonderful film. Craig Bierko is unbielvable. And great at crying. And a VERY, VERY, VERY handsome young man. And still is 20 years later. This is a very touching story with a great spiritual message and (what I think are great) lines like, "I don't want you to be just a memory for eternity. When I get to heaven I want you to show me around." I am not sure what the other reviewer is talking about when he metions Craig throwing a punch. There is no punch. But I've met Craig Bierko several times and I know he could take care of himself! BUY IT! You will not regret it!

This is a good movie for to view. It was not a typical tear jerker movie. However, it will touch you deeply as you see this young man who gets to know this new girl in his school little by little. He has good intentions and always asks help from God. He deeply wants to understand what is troubling her and show her that God can help. He doesn't know why see is so bitter and tries to show her that life is not so hopeless. She finds the love of God and believes in his eternal love. This story makes you feel emotinal and you feel that you are not alone and that God loves us and gave his life for us. You will like this movie.

It could have been the typical tear jerker movie of the 80's. However, it touch us deeply as the young man who knows the new girl in his school little by little has really good intentions and always asks help to God. He uses to go to church and at the same time falls in love with the girl and makes her change her mind about hopelessness as she is dying of a brain cancer. He makes her love God and believe in his eternal love. This story makes us feel emotinal and feel we are not alone and someone beyond all powers loves us and gave his life for us. Watch it without fear of crying, after all the tears shed are not in vain. I only gave 4 stars as in my opinion the film is very short, around 65 minutes.. otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

tense, absorbing, a miracle! this shows that the love shared by 2 teenagers and their creator does not have to deteriorate into just another love triangle tale. my only quibble: they obviously sped up Craig's spinning backfist in the climatic fight to make him seem more formidable
