Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

A Brilliant Conflict

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Reminds me to be thankful for the blessing of life, love and forgiveness of our sins

When I first started watching this movie, I was very hopeful. I'm a Christian and very spiritual. After the halfway point, it became kinda goofy & hooky to me. It could have been handled so brilliantly, but I think it feel woefully short. Then, when it turned out that he was hit by a truck, I really rolled my eyes. I didn't even realize that the grown boy wasn't the abusive father at the beginning until toward the end.

I don't label myself as a "Christian," mostly due to the falseness I have experienced with some people who call themselves this. I am spiritual and believe in s higher power. I loved this film, and found it beautiful and very thought provoking. Very touching and lovely, and the cast is magnificent.

This is a movie only for the "thinking challenged" religious nut jobs. Everyone else would be better off watching practically anything else. You have been warned.
