Watching this film just isn’t the same anymore after the real life couple got divorced because the husband cheated 😬

[trinaq]

It's sad that the real life couple who inspired this story divorced six years after the film was released. Not all stories have a happy ending.

[DustinWQ]

That's crazy to go through all of that and still end up divorced over and AFFAIR!

[EMuro-wuuy]

Even after hearing the true story after watching the movie, it's important for people to understand that life doesn't always follow movies.

Him "pushing" her and "coaching" her was probably what doomed any romantic feelings she might have grown for him after the accident.

[joangravelle]

So predictable, that man preaching how the movie should've been more faith based, then we find out he had an affair. Maybe he should have been more focused on his vows.

The brain gotta be one of the most puzzling systems in our body. To think we can lose our memories & never recover them is scary. I can just see myself tearing up not remembering my family.

Kim: "I'm so Christian. I'm so Christian. I'll stay with my wife. Oops, I cheated."
Me: "Yup, you're a Christian."

[sydneyjohnson]

I started watching this video and thought there was something off about the husband from the beginning. And then we find out he cheated.

[trinaq]

One of my favourite romantic movies, with a bittersweet ending. Also, both Rachel and her former Mean Girls Costar Amanda Seyfried have played the love interest to Channing Tatum in a movie.

I knew these people. They are from the same townin NM im from. She is a very nice person, he is not. I'm a nurse and took care of both his parents at a facility I worked cat in Farmington NM. Parents were great, he is an arrogant rude person and a cheater. Its sad because she is such a nice person.

[NeoConnor]

My wife and I laughed all the way through this film. The film portrayed her condition in a way that didn't seem plausible. Now, that I learned the real life couple isn't even together anymore, that just makes it even more pitiful.

[edkihusky]

Happy endings are just stories that haven’t finished yet.

[MISSINGSITTERS]

They tried to villainize the father in the movie and it turned out the husband is the real villain 😭

[WDWMax]

Ok so at first I never saw this movie (although I had heard the basic story before) I know am going to spend my evening watching this movie! Thanks MsMojo!

[jonathanbrancagomez]

Crazy how they romanticize things in movies.the reality is so ugly, they are not attractive, she don’t like him but stay together only cause of their religion then he cheat on her wtf

[moniqueavalon]

someone needs to talk to them that forgiveness exist

[erics]

Christians aren’t perfect and do succumb to sinful behaviors, including having extra marital affairs. I think what’s important to remember is that Christ came to save sinners. When a person becomes a Christian, it doesn’t mean they never commit send any longer. Or simple conduct, regardless of what it may be, Further illustrates all of our need for a savior. While it is so sad that Kim cheated on his wife, that doesn’t necessarily mean he isn’t saved. However, it does mean that she had grounds to and the marriage due to his infidelity. People are very harsh and critical of these two precious people. I’m hoping that cricket finds love again and can move on with her life and I’m hoping that Kim can find healing and restore his relationship with the Lord and move forward as well.

I feel like they had to change the characters or people wouldn’t have been interested. It hurts a lot less they got divorced irl when they’re so different

What i have learned from this comment section, no matter how good you do - just never do anything wrong because your good and consistancy will be replaced by one wrong.

That system of thinking is so flawed, i just wonder. How do you treat yourself when you do wrong or step out ? Do you condemn yourself as your comments or do a double standard and give yourself grace that you failed to give - especially when the person is showing remorse and sorry for it.
