Produce is a heartwarming movie about an unlikely friendship. It walks
a fine line, because it would be easy for the film to go overboard, but
it strikes just the right balance. There are religious themes, but it's
never preachy, it's heartwarming, but not too cheesy, and the central
friendship never feels forced. There were so many times that I was
expecting the movie to go over the line, but in every instance, it
pulled back a little and struck just the right balance. It's a
well-written story, the acting is always believable, and it all works
together so well. It's a movie that feels so real, because when you
watch it there are times when you're uncomfortable, times you're
scared, times you want to cry, times of great joy, and you really feel
for the characters, and you want to see where the story goes.
