    WORST MOVIE EVERRRRRR!!!

    It doesn't take long to realize that this movie is a wannabe Lifetime original...I say wannabe because even Lifetime originals have better acting and less preaching. This movie should be under comedy. Monty Lapica looks like he is at least 30, and yet he plays a 17 year old??? I mean cmon!!! And why does the mom have a wig on the entire movie?? And what's with the creepy jerking off convo he has with the hobo-angel?? And why do they act like marijauna is heroin??? Just don't see this movie!!!!! Just believe me, and not these other reviews...it doesn't surprise me that these people found this movie believable...it seems they'll believe in anything...

    A beautiful cinemeatic experience

    As I watched the film I literally couldn't wait to see what would happen in the next scene. This is one of those movies that goes by very quickly. I think that's a sign of a good movie, when you just can't believe that you're already an hour or so into the movie. The story really flows nicely from scene to scene.

    This movie makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you think about the lucky aspects of life and the unlucky ones.

    The characters dwell in an utterly contemporary world; you will find no neighbors hauling in bags of money, chiming churchbells, or perfect families. At the same time, this world of this film exhibits a resilience against its crueler realities.

    All in all, very watchable for everyone, and one of the first movies I've felt like commenting on here. This movie is unique. Everybody must see it. It's a cathartic experience that will stay with you for days afterwards.

    Awesome!!!

    Apparantly k8webster has something against Beleivers. I live here in Las Vegas and happen to be Good friends with Monty Lapica's Mom, and a personal acquaintance of Monty. This is a very Good Movie (not just because I know him), but who better to be able to play this role as good as Monty. This is his story. Without God, look where his life was headed. For disaster. This is an amazing story of triumph.

    are you kidding?

    enjoyed most of it until the cliched religious symbolism, and it was all downhill from there. the writer-director also stars in it, and not only is he completely unbelievable as a 17 year old, he really could have used an outside perspective to provide some balance. clearly the story was important to him as it's based on true events but it's so self-indulgent, it loses its way.
