    I thought this movie was the best movie I had seen in along time. After watching it, I just wanted to glorify God in every way I could. its nice to see people with such faith and glorifying god like the ones in this movie.

    Great Family Movie

    The acting was questionable, however you find yourself getting lost in the message and story and it makes everything well worth it.

    God at a Cinema?

    by Cles

    My bother has been trying to get me into a movie theater. However, even mild, unwanted humor and sensual scenes are too annoying. That changed when I heard Casting Crown's music being played to an advertisement. After checking out the movie, I was surprised by "It has been an incredible run for a movie that was produced by a church on a donated budget of $100,000."

    The movie was great! The acting and production has a natural family like polish. My sister-in-law loved the movie and the family time at Lancaster -- over a hundred miles away from where I live.

    See if you can name the popular CCM songs.

    It is very refreshing to see a movie reflecting, unapologetically, your faith. The message about God taking care of your problems is very down to earth. There is nothing in this film that would be considered offensive. Unless, of course, you think football is too violent for your children -- Hence the PG rating.

    Yes, God can be properly represented in a movie!
