    • Quotes

      Brickell: What is the name of your band again?

      Bart: It is "Mercy Me". Because when I told my Memaw that we were starting a band, she was like "Mercy me, get a real job!" And I was like: "Oh, Memaw."

      [groaning]

      Bart: And the guys were like "Did she really say that?" and I was like "Yeah, we have to name the band Mercy Me". So we called it.

    • Crazy credits
      Epilogue:  "I can only imagine was released as the breakout single to MercyMe's first studio album, Almost There. The album is now certified triple platinum.  Bart proposed to Shannon at Camp Glorietta. They were married November 8, 1997.  The week Bart received his last check from his father, I Can Only Imagine became the number one Christian song in America.  It is now the best-selling, most-played Christian single of all time.  Scott Brickell manages MercyMe to this day. His home property is called 'Imagine Acres.' Bart and his mom have grown closer over the years. Today, she is her son's biggest fan.  MercyMe has gone on to record 21 number 1 hit songs...and counting.  On February 2nd, 2017, Bart had a chance to share his story with the President, Vice President, members of the House and Congress, and world leaders."

    Pleasant surprise.
    I enjoy a wide range of movie genres. I don't seek out Christian movies in particular. I knew from the trailer the basic premise of this film, however nothing more. I knew it would be a tear jerker, but it has much more substance and is a good film on its own merits. Good performances, Denis Quaid did a very good job. It's sad that Hollywood would not even take this film seriously because, well I'll digress, someone would take offense or argue about my because opinions and I'm not a keyboard warrior. It's worth seeing in the theater, just take a Kleenex or 12.
