    Storyline

    Edit
    Aimless 20-something Joey Vitello still lives at home with his colorful Italian-American family when he is reunited with childhood schoolmate Mary O'Callahan. Once mocked as 'Scary Mary,' this ugly duckling has blossomed into an irresistible beauty who has returned to the old neighborhood after an intense bout with cancer. When Joey learns that her cure was the result of a miracle, friendship turns to romance as she educates him on the road to the Almighty. Joey challenges his family's faith with his newfound revelations, and chaos ensues as they all search for their own miracles. —Federal Hill Pictures

    Disappointing religious promotional film
    This is a real disappointment for a film with such a fine cast. Despite the attempt to promote religious tolerance, understanding and disapproval of religious pretentiousness, it still comes across as an attempt to promote Anglo-American Christianity by using skeptics, who are, of course, presented as somewhat immoral characters.

    The film seems to be promoting a message that says "It's okay to accept others who are different then you, but only as long as they're devout, Anglo-American Christians", which, I suppose, is okay if you want to show the film in an Anglo-American church, but besides being somewhat pretentious, it's also just a boring subject.

    If I could re-write the script, I would re-write it so that the point it makes is that Christians aren't good people because they're Christians, but rather that good people are Christians because they're good people. This point seems to get lost in this film.
