Let me start out with saying I was VERY surprised with the production value of this movie. I managed to catch an early showing on 10-22-09, and I have to Say this is the BEST (if not only) Christian film to hit theaters since The Passion.
Don't let the PG-13 rating scare you off, the rating is appropriate because of the serious issues that are dealt with in this film (divorce, teen pregnancy, drug use, and suicide), but nothing in the film is gratuitous. This is definitely a movie that a Junior High youth group could see without upsetting (most) parents, and the message is wonderful. The best part is this is not a film FOR Christians, it is a Family film without the cheesy 7th Heaven feel.
The laughs are there too, and there were several times in the theater that everyone was laughing, it had great pacing for such a serious film. The message is clear, and teens will be able to identify with many if not all of the characters in the film.
The acting is top notch, the writing spot on, and you aren't hit over the head with all the preachy Christian rhetoric. This is a film that will make you and your teens think, talk, and perhaps question their own morality (or lack thereof). If you want to see a quality family film in January check your local listings for this film, you WON'T be disappointed.
And I am a 25 year old that just wanted to see a free movie.
