    Awful script. Awful Acting and Jesus centric
    Caution: If you are about to watch the movie then you are going to get a free Church Service and donations are accepted.

    Its about a young man falling in "love" for the first time, HOLD ON A MIN its in "Gods love"

    BTW the lead actor is son of Clint Eastwood and he has not inherited any professional qualities from his Father or at least for this movie

    Its basically produced by a Church, to make you realize that at the end of 90mins even Jesus would have hated this movie.

    And a little advice to the director that you don't need so many characters for this story and they are awful actors, You should have pull the story with hardly 5 characters who are best at it.

    Did the dude sold his Ferrari to do the Traveling? because he traveled like Bruce Wayne
