I went to this movie without the knowledge of it being a Christian based movie.I think the fear of producing a movie like this and not having a good reception took part in the limited release. Unfortunate for those who can't see it, but fortunate for those who did.
The movie produced a lot of feelings and range of emotions while the viewers watched it. You went through it with laughter, tears, anxiety and hope.
My review won't be very helpful I guess; but I do recommend you take your 12 and up children and let them see this movie. I went with a mother of 4 and wants to take her oldest children who are going through what Jake did with the youth group. I know a boy who is a stoner like Danny who is just dying to fit in but didn't know how to lose that label and get what he wanted, he watched the movie and swore to change and give up pot.
We all know a Danny, A Jake A Johnny and A Roger. We can all relate to his movie in one way or another and I'll tell you what...
When I walked out of that theater, as I wiped my eyes I looked around the sold out crowd waiting for the next show and saw them all wiping their eyes. Even the guys. All discussing the movie, the message, the cast and nothing about how hot so and so looked, or talking about where they were headed for dinner. They discussed what they got from the movie, what they liked about it and the acting skills of the actors that touched their lives so much.
If that isn't an amazing movie, I don't know what is.
