Q-Tips Reviews

Based on a remarkable true story, ORDINARY ANGELS centers on Sharon Steves (Hilary Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed Schmitt (Alan Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters. With his youngest daughter waiting for a liver transplant, Sharon sets her mind to helping the family and will move mountains to do it. What unfolds is the inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels.

Q tips say: WOW! Yes we enjoyed Ordinary Angels. A heartbreaking story everyone else thinks is hopeless, and Sharon (Hillary Swank) somehow manages to triumph over the most daunting of obstacles. Hilary Swank brings incredible energy and humanity to her role, while Alan Ritchson delivers a surprisingly restrained and vulnerable performance as a struggling father.

Mrs. Q says:  This movie reminds me that ordinary people can sometimes make an extraordinary and positive difference in our lives. We need more of this in our present society.

Q-tips say: Thought we would like “Send Help” but the ending is a bit awkward & disappointing. This was humorous and intense. Quickly paced and the 2 characters were great. Got a little dumb at the end.
