Bobby Sauders (Rob Mayes) has a brain that appears to hurt him. He has some undisclosed mental illness and is on medication. His wife Cindy (Anna Camp) and son Phillip (Carson Minniear) want to help. Bobby has a spell and goes missing. Anna has to get a J-O-B. She gets a call from the morgue for identification. A man showed up but was not Bobby, but was wearing Bobby's jacket. In searching for answers she discover Waco's homeless community and befriends a hungry homeless person (Cindy Hogan). She evolves an idea to supply blankets to the homeless folks which has as many uses as a towel in a "Hitchhiker's Guide..." This is a faith based feel good film inspired by a true event. Characters lacked depth. Nothing in the way of conflict and drama.

This as a dandy of a good old heartfelt christian movie, because it is that...and just that. The true story about a sick dad dissapearing , a mum and a son searching and waiting for tsoag spirit to show signs of life, coming to terms with a poorer lifestyle, and it all ends up in blankets, an idea the son got from watching drifters and homeless freezing in subzero west texan winter, not just 1 or 2, no there are hoards of the fleezy and knitware stuff, stuffed in warehouses and everywhere, till it itself becomes a problem...i think i leave the plot there... i do see the samaritic idea behind this story, but the ones giving this a ten star spangled award mustve hit the bumper of the lorrie transporting these blankets. Cause its a messy production on sound and filmography, and a catastrophee acting wise with one little exeption, the boy caracter seems doable, the rest is a complete mess. Why they made this film is the big clue, to show great craftmanship to the silverscreen fanatics it aint not. X-mas holyday season tv movies is like a shawshank redemption experience compared to this. This is kind of moviemaking that a grumpy old man could say '' i can do better that that with my samsung 3 '', therefore after1900 or so films reviewed and commented in writing, this must be the simplest and dorkiest ive ever seen, films that i normally shade away from but have to watch due to my grumpy old wifes wishes, which of course is my command. I wont share a blanket with them, thats for sure.

I was moved by this film. Strong performances from the leads and great direction throughout made this an inspirational film that has emotional impact. Right from the start I was drawn into the struggles this family faced. 5000 Blankets highlights a big problem that North America now faces in urban centers where affordable housing is in short supply and this has hurt the most vulnerable in society including those who struggle with mental illness. This film takes you on a journey with one family and shows you how they chose to react in a positive way to very negative and challenging circumstances that developed after a family member went missing due to mental illness.

In our busy, chaotic lives, a film like this is needed to remind us of the basic good in humanity, and that no matter the amount of divisive rhetoric that's in the world today, we can all rise above the noise and do good for others. Finding our own purpose in the world is always hinged to service of others...this movie inspires each of us to stop and look around and find ways to make a positive difference in the lives of others. This movie also gives us hope that in the worst of times and in the midst the hardest of life's challenges, people will come into our lives to help guide us to our purpose if we are only willing to see and hear them. Each of us are never very far away from hard times. It can take one major tragic event, or a series off misfortunes that land us in devastating circumstances and it's in those darkest times that the biggest lessons become available to us. This move reminds us to just see them. You walk away from seeing this moving knowing that ultimately we are our brother's keeper.
