This film is quite well-made. It avoids the supercharged tackiness of The Secret, but does a good job of presenting the concepts of the Law of Attraction and the use of affirmations. The best thing about the film is to see healing pioneer Louise Hay now celebrating her 80th year, looking gorgeous and full of vitality, speaking simply and modestly, and I swear not wearing a bra! I especially liked the presentation of her loving and hopeful work with young gay men with AIDS at the very beginning of the epidemic, before anyone knew anything about the syndrome.

The minimal story line is annoyingly clichéd in that it ends with the lonely girl effortlessly attracting a gorgeous hunk once she accepts herself as she is and begins to enjoy her life. In fact it often does happen that one unexpectedly finds a partner after one has learned how to be contented and self-sufficient by oneself - but it is cultural prejudice that diminishes the importance of that achievement by always suggesting that finding that partner, rather than realizing a secure sense of oneself, is the ultimate goal.

I highly recommend getting the expanded version of the movie that includes the uncut interviews with Hay, Dyer, Hicks, Northrup, and Braden. All the interviews are good, and hearing their thoughts in the context of everything they said is much more interesting and useful than hearing the bits and pieces that made it into the movie.
