Like other Christian themed movies (Fireproof comes to mind) the production value is closer to what you see on television than the big screen. Most of the players lack smooth delivery and the dialogue sounds more like a Sunday school pop-up book in places. I found the first 30 minutes of set-up to be rather tedious. If you can survive all the above you will be treated to a rather heart warming story of the value of faith, character, and perseverance. Instead of beating the viewer down it elevates you and holds up the best of humanity in the face of peer pressure willing to hold a person blameless for taking the low road (rather insistent that it be taken actually) . In fact taking the high road is shown to be very challenging with doubts and obstacles coming from quarters where it wouldn't be expected. This a an outstanding feel good movie that I would recommend to any age viewer. I take 2 stars based on a 'lesser' production value but few of today's movies will uplift your spirit like this one.
