Nothing Is Impossible
(David White, Nadia Bjorlin, Mark Lawrence, Robert Amaya, Stella Parton, et al / DVD / NR / 2023 / Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

Overview: Scott Beck’s (David A.R. White) life has not gone to plan. Working as the janitor at the high school where he was once the star of the basketball team, he is dealing with an ailing father, a busted truck and memories of Ryan (Nadia Bjorlin), the girl he loved long ago.

but opportunity arises when Ryan, now the owner of the Knoxville Silver Knights, decides to hold open tryouts for the team. Scott attempts to make the impossible happen by not only making the team, but getting back the woman he loves in this inspiring and winning drama.

DVD Verdict: Scott Beck was shoe-in for the NBA. Or so everyone thought. 20 years later he’s a janitor at the old high school he once attended, having been passed over during the draft.

He’s still a legend there with the current team, but life and reality changed his plans. In the present day he’s juggling a nagging landlady, tight finances, a frequently broken truck and an ill father.

Everyday is the same and feeling bleak, until an old flame and new opportunity come into his life. Ryan Aikins, his high school sweetheart and former fiancé, is now the owner of the Knoxville Silver Knights, their hometown team.

After firing two players for criminal and unethical behavior, the team is in desperate need of replacements but financial issues pose a problem to recruitment. Butting heads with Coach Banks, Ryan decides to hold open tryouts which brings Scott and Ryan back into each others worlds.

So, the question now arises, will the past Scott gave up on years before come back for a second chance with the sport and the woman he still loves?

Well, as they say, with God, nothing is impossible, and thus this excellently-crafted movie Nothing Is Impossible is one of those flicks that you start to watch, continue to watch and only realize come the ends credits that you never once moved, were always attentive to the acting, the plot, the dialogue and everything that went with it.

For me, the characters felt real. They have their own talents, but are flawed, like us every day folk. Which is why I liked this movie as in today’s world it’s the norm to make the protagonists so perfect that there is no triumph, no risk, and no real investment.

Fortunately, Nothing Is Impossible stuck with the tried and true form of storytelling. They get us invested in who these people are, where they came from, their strengths and weaknesses, their failings and their courage.

In short, this is what good storytelling is all about. Thus people are inspired to reevaluate their own lives even in relation to this fictional story, because even in the fiction there is relatable truth.

Personally, I instantly liked, and believed in Scott from the off. I found him to be relatable. He continually was being judged as he struggled with his past. He had to learn about himself, how to use his talents to be good and listen to what God was telling him instead of those around him always doubting him.

In closing, I thought this was a touching, inspirational and heartwarming story that would be a perfect addition to any family movie night.
