October Baby - Available Now
You know how you watch a movie and your heart just breaks for the character?
Well, that happened to me this past weekend.
I was lucky enough to be able to watch October Baby and not even 15 minutes into it, my mouth hit the floor. I really loved the chemistry between Hannah and Jason. After looking it up on IMDB, I see that they worked together in the past... Well, it shows and it is great. You feel as though they really are best friends. In the movie, they have been friends since childhood and you really get that while watching!
As the movie starts, you see a normal college kid..
Then, she just falls out while on stage for a play. You know it isn't nerves, as she was just using an inhaler, so you get the feeling that something is wrong. Throw in John Schneider and we are off!!!!
We learn (back to my not even 15 minutes in and my mouth hit the floor) that she was actually adopted by her parents... after her birth mom tried to abort her.
Talk about a punch in the gut.
This movie has you following Hannah on a road trip of a lifetime...
I would for sure recommend it...
As a side note, once again, thanks to IMDB you see a somewhat familiar face... The cop in October Baby was actually in Courageous... and then you learn that Provident Films helped with this movie.. Just like Courageous...
Side note - 10 % of the profits from October Baby will go to the EVERY LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL FUND.
They distribute funds to help"organizations helping women facing crisis pregnancies, life-affirming adoption agencies and those caring for orphans."

Synopsis:
As the curtain rises, Hannah hesitantly steps onto the stage for her theatrical debut in college. Yet before she can utter her first lines, Hannah—unscripted—collapses in front of the stunned audience.
After countless medical tests, all signs point to one underlying factor: Hannah's difficult birth. This revelation is nothing compared to what she then learns from her parents: she was actually adopted … after a failed abortion attempt.
Bewildered, angered, and confused, Hannah turns for support to Jason, her oldest friend. Encouraged by his adventurous spirit, Hannah joins his group of friends on a Spring Break road trip, embarking on a journey to discover her hidden past … and find hope for her unknown future.
In the midst of her incredible journey, Hannah finds that life can be so much more than what you have planned.
