Found it amusing.
robotmonkeycat4 March 2023
It's a bit of a Christian film, and I am not a Christian, but there was nothing about that aspect per se, that bothered me about the film. There were lines related to it that I did find amusing. Like the one's about the deceased mother's dream of Zena going to bible college.

I don't want to give the wrong impression, the Christian side of the story was fairly limited, and it wasn't preachy. At times, it didn't seem like one at all, and sometimes seemed like an anti-Christian film, but little things would occasionally pop-up and it was a part of the end message Zena delivers.

Found a lot of script & story weird and the production a bit weak. Not weird in a cool way, but in a cheesy amusing way. I'm sure there were budgetary constraints, but they couldn't get a crowd for their showcase performance that happened early in the film. (I'm pretty sure there was supposed to an audience there.)

The lead had a nice voice and her songs were okay. Not really my fare but not a style I avoid. (I'm assuming it was her voice.)

There's a lot more that I would to say, but it would get into spoiler territory, but I will mention that I didn't care for something that happened near the end. It wasn't terrible just a bit of a eye-rolling groaner.

This movie is ripe for riffing, so might watch again as part of a cheesy movie night, and I wouldn't recommend it beyond that.
