I really hope this movie lives up to expectations. Hopefully this can be the first step in finally getting rid of the Christian film industry and start putting talented Christians into the film industry.

Did you see the movie? I am a Christian and did not come away with that feeling at all. I'm used to films bashing Christians and mocking us but I just found this film to be an honest portrayal of the journey of people to accept, love, and serve God. The problem with a lot of Christian films is that they skip all of the real pain and sin that goes on and makes it seem like life ends up being perfect. Its not. Without God, life is ugly. That is the point and that should be told.

You obviously haven't seen the movie.

The movie was honest, which is what I liked about it. This is a great portrayal of what the world is actually like for Christians and non-Christians. I feel like it was brilliant in addressing social issues within the Church, and between the church and the rest of the world. However, the gospel message was not presented, which was problematic. It definitely promoted tolerance, but didn't mention salvation.

The point is that not all is right. Damage has been done due to selfish actions, but Don saw that everyone is guilty of the same things he is guilty of. In that way, he was able to more easily forgive and ask for forgiveness. If all of a sudden everything magically turned out sunshine and rainbows with no cohesiveness, then I'd share your opinion on the movie.

worth the watch

[spareaxe]

This is one of the worst movies I've seen this year. Awful plot line, bad acting and just not worth the time.
