Amber is a high school senior
living with her mother in Oregon. Her mother’s alcoholic boyfriend becomes
abusive, so mother and daughter end up being homeless and sleeping in a school
bus. Amber is a busy girl, volunteering at school and in the community, while
working and aspiring to study in music. When her mother passes in a car
accident and her dog gets sick (needing surgery), Amber is willing to put her
life on hold to save her fury friend, but her entourage is not willing to let
her do that without trying to help her.
This is a sweet Netflix film with a compelling story and some good acting. Sure, it’s sappy and overly predictable, but hey, it comes with the territory with this genre. It was a nice treat to see Carol Burnett again on screen. While she had a limited role, she made the best of it.
