    A big message for such a little movie
    What would happen if we were to take our Christianity seriously, and really walk the walk (not just talk the talk)? That's the question this movie seeks to answer.

    It's a low-budget flick, and certainly doesn't have the polish of most movies. But it kind of makes up for this with interesting views of New York City.

    The movie doesn't actually try to be offensive. But perhaps it's not for fans of most Christian movies, who are likely to be easily offended. It's more than a little "gritty," but maybe the life of the original St. Francis was more than a little gritty, too.

    Occasionally the film is light-hearted and funny. Even so, it has an unforgettable message to impart. This movie is likely to stay with me for a long time. Now I can much more easily imagine what might happen if I were to live the gospel, to take the words of Jesus as literally as possible. So I'm intensely grateful that I saw this charming "little" movie.
