With its theme of loving helpless kids and the richness of the characters, Where Love Found Me offers up a mesmerizing viewing experience about a filmmaker who lives with a band of street kids in hopes of making his big break in Hollywood. Desperate for a hit film, Hudson doesn’t count on being drawn into the story himself until he meets a young girl named Ruby, who captures his heart.

The relationships that develop between the characters, and the lighthearted adventures they have together, are genuinely charming, and the violence is balanced by many uplifting scenes along the way. There is a strong sacrificial thread running through the plot, and the film ends with a strongly redemptive scene that will leave the viewer crying, or cheering, or both.

Although fictional, the movie does a good job of depicting the hardship these children endure. It also features several real-life adopted children at the end and encourages adoption. Where Love Found Me shows vulnerable children being loved with first-class treatment by some, and it urges more people to step up and do the same.

We are happy to award Where Love Found Me the Dove Approved Ages 12+ seal.
