I wanted to but couldn't!

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The worst thing about this rating system is the fact that I cannot give a bellow zero (0) rating.I have watched this film hoping that is something to enjoy in a lazy afternoon.I was horrified by this poor attempt of a movie, and, don't get me wrong, I have seen abysmal movies: I have seen The Room. Acting was mediocre and saying this is generous. The script was predictable yet disappointing. The leading role was played about the most boring men on the entire movie industry.The only redeeming "quality" about this artifact is the ending (you have to see it, no spoilers). Let's just say that soap operas are payed a tribute here.This movie is worst that anything that you will ever see. Nevertheless, please see it for yourself. It might be the case that you are its intended audience.

I had the pleasure of having an actress as a friend while I was living in Australia. She mentioned that she was going to be an extra in a movie, and although we made plans to watch it together, I had to leave the country.Thank God I never had to see it with her...Years later she sent me a link to this film on IMDb, and said "oh you should check this movie out. This was the one that I told you about... I played one of the jurors." And since it had been a while I thought; oh why not? It's got Malcolm McDowell, how bad can it be, despite the low rating?Dear sweet lord it was worse than I thought.The acting is terrible to put it gently, even McDowell couldn't pull out a single believable moment to hold the viewer's attention. There is an ensemble cast of first timers, poor talent, and just terrible delivery throughout. The plot is even worse. In a misguided attempt to create a modern Christian comedy, they try and dupe you with what you think will be a funny little courtroom comedy. It's not. It's actually a really bad drama, like a film student's first attempt. I don't think anyone chose what theme they were going for when they made this movie. There is so much Christian rhetoric in this trash that I was literally yelling, "oh just shut it!" at the television. If you don't believe me, just listen to the song in the credits.Better yet, don't watch this movie at all and save yourself a lifetime of regret.1/10 (this is certainly the lowest rating I have ever given on IMDb. If there was something lower than 1, this movie would get it)

I still cant believe that this is considered as an actual "serious" movie This piece of crap is so bad that I cant even call it anything else than crap sorry, this is not about religion even if one is fundamentalist or very religious he/she cant possibly like this nonsense first of all script was so absurd that I couldn't believe all those who people seriously agreed to be a part of this farce!But considering their rubbish acting skills and performance it is easy to see that they were very desperate.Timothy A. Chey should be jailed for this or religious people should burn him at the stake this is an insult to even religion.I feel offended as a Christian and as an admirer of the art of propaganda he obviously doesn't know what he is doing and lacks the proper skills to make even a bad movie because this is not a bad movie this is blatant nonsense don't waste your time pls

Before I begin, I want to separate Malcolm Mcdowell's performance from the rest of the "movie", and treat them separately.This "movie" ran more like a two bit amateur western suburbs protestant (pick your denomination) church attempt at film than a movie to be taken seriously. The actors didn't know if they were Australian or American, opting for accents that weren't quite either. Their performances were stilted, rigid, and unnatural. The dialog was tedious, nonsensical, and boorish. I mean, really, who goes around all day talking like the characters in this movie...other than the most intolerable bible thumpers? And the court room scenes...don't get me started on those. I mean, even law and order comes somewhat close to accuracy. Even judge Judy has an actual judge! But this....this made both shows look like videographic authorities on procedure.Whoever made this took an idea that could have made an excellent movie...suing the devil! It could have been light with dark undertones, and could have had subtle philosophical depth. It seems like whoever made it was so focused on pushing this ideological axe they had to grind...so driven to send out their message, that they neglected the simplest of things about making a good movie. They thought the message itself was enough, however delivered. Instead it came across amateur, unbelievable and tacky.On the other hand, Malcolm Mcdowell was brilliant as always. The perfect villain plays the ultimate one (well...if you believe christians, that is). His performance was flawless, and was the only reason I didn't give the movie a 1. But the whole movie I couldn't help but wonder why he would be part of such an awful production.
