Clearly not a big budget movie, but it didn't need it. Great story, good acting. Even the wig was perfect. Worth the time.

Watching this film I was reminded of the old Millionaire series where Marvin Miller kept giving out million dollar checks every week to some lucky soul to do with as they please. Seeing A Promise To Astrid I was thinking how remarkable if true.

Then I see the film was based on a novel and then it was like the old series. Soon enough old John Beresford Tipton would leave his magnificent estate Silverstone for the poorhouse.

Thus it would be for our old lady protagonist Astrid who is constantly looking for people and causes to give money to. The cast whom none of you will know save for Dean Cain from he Lois&Clark series is sincere but working on a project that defies logic.

Charity has its limits.

This film is what it truly means to understand the meaning of life it is not just all about us or I rather it is about us whether you believe in God or not we are put here on this Earth to help one another not to tear one another down and it is always better to give than to receive and this movie is stop hitting me of what that statement is pay it forward do good virtual for heart cheers so and that's what this movie does it's yours up the soul warm so hard and it's forever ingrained in the essence of who we are.
