Although it aspires to be a kind of latter-day "Love Story," the rote, overly earnest drama "New Life" exists largely on the surface.

2/5

The film's press release mentions both The Notebook and The Fault in Our Stars in its first sentence. Add the word 'Christian' and you have both an elevator pitch and a summary.

A familiar story about a family torn apart by illness. The voiceover is unnecessary, though Erin Bethea is impressive as Ava.

The hope-infused family drama New Life possesses a huge heart with its arteries seriously clogged by narrative cholesterol in the form of gooey voice-over narration.

A beautiful love story, and get the tissues ready. Real life issues dealt with in a clean, loving, and honest way. Highly recommend this movie!

Worth a watch, but over time it will fade into the background among the thousands of other romantic dramas out there.

Lacking all around, but a good story that is worth watching.

A nice and what felt like a casually unique spiritual film. With most of it filmed near where I grew up, this was a nicely put-together low-budget movie with what seemed like a good production and post-production group for a more lower quality film and at least one fairly well-known actor from a Ben Stiller comedy. This was nicer and more unpredictable than I may have expected.
