“As TJ, Way is amiable and charming, demonstrating some real talent — this is a kid who’s going places. Featuring songs written by Louis Yoelin and performed by Way and McMahon, the movie’s music is also surprisingly and consistently good.”

“What an awesome indie, with excellent refreshing country music! You follow an honest kid with talent, who has to overcome various tragedies to make it in the country music business, and may find it in something or someone unexpected. The overall production value is impressive for an indie, with some pretty cool locations. The story is a bit familiar, but with its likeable characters and onset chemistry between the protagonists, supported by a kickass soundtrack, you come out feeling good in an authentic way. I thought it was still more real than A Star is Born. With all the movies out there, I still felt like this was the first time I saw a movie just like Sweet Sunshine.”

“Sweet Sunshine is earnest family fare running on the battery of faith-based storytelling, and doing it at an elite level. The production values are strong, from terrific stage performances that defy indie convention, to a soundtrack loaded with expertly placed original songs that serve their intentions well. “Sweet Sunshine” is a sweetly-told, big screen reflection of our contemporary pop stars, their meteoric rises, and the first-time feelings and situations that can follow close behind.”

“On the surface this movie is a simple story of rags to riches cloaked in urban country music, but the movie is much more than that. It has Oscar winning quality music and lyrics on par with Frozen and other current movies with a lot of music. The lead character is charming and engaging as we follow him on the ups and downs of life. The songs and concert performances solid and help tell with the story. In the end it is a feel good movie.”
