                  This movie inspires me lot because it plays a vital role in family relationships.After I watched the movie, it seems it realizes me more that as a daughter I should be responsible enough to handle things whatever trials that life may brings in our family relationships.The twins in this movie did everything just to restore the relationship of their parents. I really touched of this movie because imagine how young they are but indeed they successfully restore their broken family.It awakens and enlightens us that nothing is more important than our family to be unite as one and the love of God be center in the family relationship.And it reminds us, too that divorce is not the solution of the problems and trials that life may brings.Instead we will listen to  the advices of the ungodly people,we will run to Jesus who is the BEST SOLUTION of this storms in life.God never gives us trials that we can't handle,it is just a test to strengthen our love to each other and to draw closer to Him.
