Movie Review: Come What May

When does life really begin? Come What May is a movie about doing the right thing – a court case type movie. “People believe what they choose to. You need to believe the truth. What you believe determines what you do.” Do the right thing come what may. We need to stand up for what we believe. If college student Caleb Hogan argues what he truly believes, he may lose the support of his mother and if he doesn’t, he may lose the support of a young lady who has won his heart. Caleb’s mother prepares for a high profile abortion case while Caleb is pro-life. Choosing what is right is never easy.

Psalm 139:13 “For you created my inmost being: you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”

The movie portrays some excellent values
1. Does work come before family life or date nights? Is it worth it? We need to know the difference between what is urgent and what is critical.
2. There are high standards in the relationship between Caleb and Rachael. It’s a relationship with boundaries.
3. The words don’t compromise, stand firm and do what is right ring true. I asked myself if I would be able to stand firm or stand alone and do what is right even if it’s against all odds and my answer is YES, I would. Some things that look right may not necessarily be right. Living in God’s righteousness needs to guide our whole life.

Although Caleb lost his argument, he did the right thing. It’s always worth doing the right thing even if you lose.
“If you don’t believe your wife is precious,
you won’t cherish her.
If you don’t believe that love is best when it’s pure and new,
You won’t wait patiently for it.
If you don’t believe the baby in the womb is the handiwork of God,
You’ll do nothing to protect it.
What do you believe?”

It’s a thought provoking, interesting movie. I really like the values and standards that are set AND, the whole family can watch it.
