I really liked this film as I have most of the Christian films. In my obsession I then skimmed through different things on IMDB. I was very saddened to find out that the lead actor was in a production on Broadway that I understand (I don't plan on seeing it, but from everything that I have heard) very irreverently, very crudely makes light of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - aka the Mormons. My church has had a history of conflict with other subsets of Christianity, but I thought that some of that conflict was lessening. So sad that this actor would associate himself with such a production.
I was not familiar with Bart Millard prior to this film - other than obviously hearing the song. I thought his portrayal was good. I was confused if it was the actor doing the singing or if the vocals were done by the real Bart Millard.
I liked Madeline Carroll who plays Shannon. I also like the actors who played them when younger.
Reading through the comments - I think that it was for this film. I do not understand the antagonism against Christian films in general. Do you not feel better about yourselves and about life after seeing Christian films? Do they not affect you? Can you not feel something? Yes, because of lack of funding the acting and other aspects of production isn't always the best, but the heart and the spirit is there. You should not misjudge them based on their lack of funding.
