Ordinary Angels is based on a remarkable true story. The movie centers on Sharon (Hilary Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky. She is having problems of her own, including an addiction to alcohol, and a son that won’t speak to her. But she discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed (Alan Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters.
Ordinary Angels opens with the birth of his youngest daughter, Michelle. Then we see her mother dying from liver failure. Now Michelle is herself waiting for a liver transplant. Michele has an older sister, Ashley, who loves and cares for her little sister.
Sharon sets her mind to helping the family and will move mountains to do it. What unfolds is the inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels. Sharon would not take no for an answer. She rallied the whole community, including businesses and the local tv station, to get this family what they needed.
Ordinary Angels is a great reminder to us all. We can, and should, step up to help others in our community. The size doesn’t matter. It may be donating a meal, clothing, or organizing a fundraiser for medical bills. We can make a difference in the lives of those in our community! See below for a way you can be an ordinary angel by helping others with medical bills.
Ordinary Angels Review
Ordinary Angels is rated PG. It is suitable for the whole family. I do like to let parents know what is in movies so they can decide if it is appropriate for their kids. In this movie there is a short bar scene, along with alcohol consumption in another scene. There is also smoking, and a moment when two characters are shown with blood on their clothes, from Michelle being sick.
Ordinary Angels is truly an amazing story of how one person can make a huge difference in the lives of others.
I loved this movie. Hilary Swank did a phenomenal job of portraying Sharon. There are sad parts, and happy parts. Moments when you can feel the characters defeat. And moments when you celebrate their victories with them. You can feel the humanity of these characters, as they go through situations that we ourselves, or others we know, have been through.
When you see this movie, be sure to stay for the credits. You’ll see the real Michelle, her family, and the real Sharon.
