Rated - PG
99 min.
So with Easter coming up, I figured I should do a more "religious" film. (Seeing as I'm not all that into religious films, I will do a review of a film that I was dooped into.) Yes that's right... Dooped! Watch the trailer on this one and tell me that you would think it to be a heavily religious movie. Not to say that's a bad thing, but it was by no means what I was expecting. To talk down about it though would be wrong. If you were in the mood for an uplifting story about God's presence in our lives, this would be it. I had fully intended on ripping this movie apart for leading me to belive it was a humorous romp into grouchy old man land...
It was far from that, what it was though, was a movie with a solid story with beautiful acting. I was angry for half of the film, that I wasn't aware of its religious undertones, yet as the movie progressed I found that was the point. The main character finds God through his disbelief. You as the audience find out how much you believe as well. I related alot to the main character and, other than the obligitory sappy ending, was very suprised with the film after I had time to let it settle in my mind.
