"When things don't work out, there's always a reason." - Grace (Kari Matchett)īeing an organ donor after death and all that means is explored. Life is helpful when you can zoom in and out of it in order to get a proper perspective. There are things that are more than meets the eye. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Chris/Narrator
"There are only 2 ways to live your life. You might need to explain to your kids what that's all about. The movie is about a double lung transplant. They will live on in all of the lives they touch. Chris Charalambous, the Head of Acquisitions at Freestyle stated, "We believe 2 Hearts is the kind of heartwarming and uplifting love story that audiences need right now and will want to experience." A special thanks to all of those who bravely declare themselves organ donors on their driver's license. Directed by Lance Hool, the movie is family-friendly and sugary sweet. It tells the story of Christopher Gregory and Jorge Bacardi, who is practically Cuban royalty of the Bacardi Rum dynasty. The film ends with a note on the Gabriel House of Care, a non-profit worth researching.īased on the dramatic true story from the 2017 book All My Tomorrows: A Story of Tragedy, Transplant and Hope by Brian Gregory, the movie intertwines two families' lives. Life perspective is one of the key takeaways here, as is a fact that most people should already be well aware: organ donors make a difference and mean the world to those impacted. The two staged weddings provide all kinds of cuteness, as does goofy, easy-going Chris. Keeping up with the time period for Jorge and Leslie involves spotting the clothing styles and technology hints, and very few viewers won't know where this is headed well before it gets there. Jorge is part of a wealthy Cuban family forced to relocate to Miami due to political pressures under Castro. Chris is a middle-class boy whose parents (Kari Matchett, Tahmoh Penikett) are loving and demanding. An older Jorge (Adnan Canto, "Designated Survivor") locks eyes with flight attendant Leslie (Radha Mitchell), which kicks off a whirlwind globe-trotting romance. Modern day college student Chris (also the film's narrator) literally bumps into Sam (Tiera Skovbye, "Riverdale"), and the two become 'Safety Buddies' on campus - offering a ride to those students in need. Despite the different time periods, we see the symmetry with the romantic interests of the men. We learn Jorge Bolivar has a lung disease, and has been told at various stages that he wouldn't live past 12, 20, or 30 years old. We then cut to a period many years earlier as a young Cuban boy passes out on a soccer field. We first see an unconscious Chris Gregory (Jacob Elordi, THE KISSING BOOTH) being wheeled on a gurney into the surgical area of a hospital. These are neither particularly thought-provoking nor deep, however, they do set the stage well enough for the story. It even begins with some conventional philosophy on life courtesy of our narrator: it's either a miracle or it's not, and life either happens to us or for us. Admittedly, the film has a bit of Lifetime Movie Channel look and feel. Russin serve up a touching and inspirational story of how the lives of families can intersect, and how triumph can come from tragedy.
Director Lance Hool and co-writers Veronica Hool and Robin U. Only this time it's based on a true story, and the 2017 book "All My Tomorrows" by Brian Gregory. Two stories, seemingly unrelated, yet parallel.
