I love Dutcher's previous efforts, God's Army and Brigham City, and was looking forward to States of Grace. It was awesome! at least for the first 100 minutes or so. Then an unexpected (and unnecessary) turn in the film during the last 30 minutes destroyed the whole thing for me. What was he thinking by throwing in the whole scott and holly thing? I think that this film would have been much better without this. My trainer went home for the same reason, so I am not saying it does not happen, I just feel that it was not necessary in this film to get across the principle of grace - Dutcher did an amazing job with this film until the story went south with these two characters.
