Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreI've been watching a lot of Christian themed movies lately and i really liked this one. I will admit it comes off as low budget, but it didnt take away from the story of the film. I noticed that some people are asking "John Corbett as a pastor?" and I thought he was a perfect fit. Another perfect fit was Barry Corbin.; he does cantankerous so well!!This wasnt a film filled with dynamite actors, I know, I found myself cringing a lot the first 20 minutes, but after a while I was so into the story that I stopped noticing and was amazed at the spirit of this little town and the people in it. Oh and I Ioved discovering that the cast of refugees were actual Karen people!!!
... View MoreBased on a true story. Great back story. Relax and escape the stress of your life while in the theater routing for the success of these people. Run, don't walk to the theater. The story line is one of determination and who doesn't need that right about now. Go see the movie and then hear me say, "I told you so."
... View MoreWhile inspirational, this movie is also very real in depicting the awkward and unpredictable messiness of life while trying to follow God. Some of the casting is really strong. It may push us a little toward out-of-the-box thinking. I will try to see it again partly because it was thought provoking and also because there were a few scenes I couldn't understand what was said. It is not necessarily Christian, but more spiritual. As far as reviews go, it's humorous to see how a spiritual movie predictably ends up averaging 6 stars when only 7% of viewers rated it 6 stars. Since 40% rated it 10 stars and 20% rated it 1 star there's a much higher chance (60%) you will be in one of the totally love/totally hate it groups.
