I was hoping this would be an enjoyable family movie, but I was sadly let down. I found it to be very predictable, schmaltzy, has a poor story line, average acting, obviously low budget, poor camera work, poor lighting, average sound and directing. Like many movies these days, it was garbage. It was soooo pathetically mindless with things starting so bad for all the characters then like magic, everything ended so fantastically for everyone. I think this movies market was for the lower socio economic, wrestling fans of the extreme right wing bible belt of the USA. I must say, that whenever Diahann Carroll came on, the quality lifted considerably (which wasn't that much) and I have never seen her before. I think the part she had to play in this movie was obviously WAY below her capabilities. I suppose I have been spoilt by some of many priestly classics like Going My Way (1944), Boys Town (1938), It's a Wonderful Life (1946) or even Sister Act (1992). Is this movie worth your time? I say no! We are all entitled to our opinions and this is mine.
