I just saw the trailer for Come What May (advertised on the Fireproof DVD).

Do any of you know anything else about this movie? It looks like it could be really good...

Here is a link to the website (and trailer): http://www.comewhatmaythemovie.com/

The Story

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb."
(Psalm 139:13)

With his mother a lawyer and his father a professor, Caleb Hogan has grown up understanding the importance of stating his case, backing it with facts, and choosing what's right ... Come What May.

This ability has served him well in his internship at his mother's law firm and it has guided him to the college with the best Moot Court team. But has it prepared him to deal with the collision-course elements of the most important legal issue of our time?

When does life really begin?

Coming face-to-face with the realities and legalities of the abortion issue—both in preparation for the National Moot Court championship and as his mother prepares to argue a high-profile case before the Supreme Court—Caleb must decide what he truly believes.

Wherever he lands will have consequences. If he takes the pro-life argument, he stands to lose the most important competition of his life—and the support of his mother. If he follows his mother's lead, he could win the coveted title ... but lose the heart of his teammate Rachel in the process.

Along with her professor and classmates, Rachel not only understands the strength of the pro-life arguments, she believes them to her core. Life, from its beginning, exists to honor God. For Rachel, that plays out in her Moot Court arguments and in her daily life.

Can Caleb find that same conviction? Can he win the heart of Rachel in the process? While compromise might be the easiest solution, it could also be the most dangerous.

Come What May is a vivid reminder that choosing what's right is never easy ... but it's always worth the cost.

I saw it back in November. The story is very sweet and intriguing. It's isn't a professional film, though. The acting was a little flat (Karen Jezek was, in my opinion, the best of the cast). Technically there were some awkward moments. In short, it isn't going to be up to the standard of a mainstream and professionally produced film... but that's to be expected. Stilling the inner film critic

I found it a very enjoyable movie with a powerful message... and I loved seeing all the main girl's curly girl hairstyles!!
