Lack of good storyline.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The acting, like most Christian movies, is not GREAT but it's okay. The story line is also somewhat unrealistic...most of us probably won't end up in such extreme situations... but I guess that if it was a realistic, everyday plot line it would be pretty boring to watch.How Christians should go about responding to homosexuality is a difficult thing to try and capture and explain... no matter how you go about it you will be insulted and deemed as "hateful."I like how honest it is though, especially the interviews. Some people said it's unfair how Ray had a script to follow and people were "caught off-guard." If you think you know who you are and what you believe in, you should ALWAYS be ready to defend that, no matter how "off-guard" you are caught. He explains it to the people that he interviews without being rude or judgmental and most of them are very understanding in response. He is not out there trying to convert everyone- just telling them the truth about Christ, explaining it in a very simple way and leaves them to think about it. Whether they want to peruse said information or not is up to them. That's it-and that was done wonderfully!

Part documentary, part story, part stand up comedy routine, all of it relevant as society continues to heat up on the debate of Gay Marriage and Homosexuals & Lesbians within the Christian/ Church going community. However, my expectations were blown out of the water when I watched this film (in it's full version on YouTube) and discovered myself both entertained and even laughing out loud at places. Also, there are so many "coincidences" connecting me to this movie, I felt it might be Destiny for me to see it when I did. Right down to the fact that I actually possess a bogus Million Dollar Bill, in Canadian format. (Actually, it might be the real deal but with what Canadian currency is worth around the world, it comes to the same difference). As you know, if you've read my previous reviews, I can ramble on for a VERY long time, especially when discussing something I enjoyed. I don't give many films a rating of 9, but I'm going to "shutteth" my mouth & "stoppeth" my typing because I'm "wastething" your time (that's me doing Bible talk) and I'll let you zip over to YouTube and watch "Audacity" for free. Trust an Aussie, Ray Comfort, to examine a topic sideways and make you see something in a way that you never have before. When I saw the title, "Audacity" I thought it might be a horror film about someone taken hostage when their computer sound editing program develops artificial intelligence and creates a post- apocalyptic society. Boy. Was I off the mark. It's really a breath of fresh air on a topic that's become hot and stifling because it seems that EVERYTHING that can be said about gay and lesbian marriages has been. So whether you're straight, gay, lesbian or just prefer the love of your cat with a 'thing' for toe biting - ("Hey, don't judge me. At least he always shows up in time for dinner!!!")) you will feel better after seeing "Audacity". Tell them LAURA-LEE sent you. (It won't get you anything, but it might compensate me for the less attention I'm getting for cutting this review short). Sincerely, Laura-Lee (Was Here)P.S. Is it breaking the hard and fast "Spoiler Warning" rule here at IMDb if I tell you there's a good "Knock, knock" joke in this film? If you don't read another review from me here, you'll know the answer is "Yes!"

That is the main purpose of the film: to remind us that if we are good friends to someone and we want to help, doesn't matter the circumstances, we need to speak up. That's something that people forgot along the history trying to be politically correct and not upset anyone. But we all know: truth hurts sometimes... and it hurts so much that the receiver is in denial.The subject of the film: if being gay or not is a sin, if it's right or not... it depends on how you look at the "6" or "9" drawn with chalk on asphalt. And... here's your chance to look at it from both sides and decide which one you like to see.The author: doesn't stop to amaze me with the logic and the simple arguments that he's talking to people and how he gets people to agree with him. He has an unique style. I watched "180" and to see how people turned around regarding abortion was just beautiful.I give it a 10 because the film is done beautiful, the cast and crew did a good job and the story is powerful.PS :) I don't care if you don't agree with me :) Is my opinion :)

I loved this movie because it is about what is going on in our world today especially in America. I am so sorry that so many people are offended by this subject. Please do not put ones who truly love the Lord Jesus Christ in one basket. There are some who claim to know the Lord and will say some awful hateful words to people who do not believe. You call us haters and judgmental because we go by what the living word of God says. If you are looking for entertainment in a movie that is not what this movie is about. I believe by watching this movie which I watched several times by my self and then my husband watched it with me and I would watch it again. I believe that Ray Comfort loves everyone, he is not a hater neither is he judging. This movie came out at a great time. I believe that everyone should watch this movie with an open mind not a closed one and then you may get something out of it. I pray that everyone would have there eyes opened. We seriously need more love in this world. I believe that if Jesus were to come here he would talk to everyone he could. Some of you don't believe but one day you will I pray it won't be to late.
