See our video review at the bottom of the post, and notice "the gist of it" to see a short note and rating from each family member.
Film Synopsis:
If you lose it all, will you stand or fall?
Matt Webster measures his success by his possessions. Though he appears to have it all, pride of ownership does little to fill the void of a purposeless life. Broken relationships, isolation and pain for himself and his family, are the result of his pride and selfishness.
Through a series of financial and family crises, Matt and his family are stripped of all they own and are humbled enough to learn what success is really all about.

THE GIST OF IT
Remember we are not judging filming quality or acting per se, but are looking for the messages that are taught. If the acting and filming are also good that is a bonus. That being said our blockbuster rating scale is as follows:
black block = blatantly sinful
black + red = more subtly sinful
black, red + yellow = some topics may be inappropriate for or over the heads of younger viewers
black, red, yellow + white = Nothing questionable morally
black, red, yellow, white + green = not only no objections, but also beneficial for growth

Dad (James) says - This is worth the money. They didn't push a denomination (characters spoke of church, but were not shown going), just Biblical principles.
Mom (Dawn) says - Although one family seemed too perfect and the other too spoiled, the Biblical principles taught were sound. Overall it was a good encouraging movie.
11 year old Son (Xander) says - I thought it was really good, but they should have cut Tara out. She was a picky, pushy, pretender.
8 year old Daughter (Abigail) says - Stand Strong is worth watching. I want to watch it again and again.
2 1/2 year old Daughter (Julia) says - I got bored and went to play.
