First, I would like to address the complaint of a previous reviewer that the film had a sudden burst of negative reviews. I think this is most likely due to the appearance of the DVD in Redbox machines and probably not an organized attack on the film. Prior to the release through Redbox, I imagine that this movie was only viewed by its intended audience, namely church groups and Sunday schools. With it's arrival in Redbox, the film has been exposed to the general public and has been subjected to higher standards.
This is a Christian film, it is NOT a film which just happens to have a Christian theme. As such, it is just like the films played at the Christian summer camp my parents used to send me to (depressingly). That is, it is laughably bad. It is low budget, poorly acted (all the reviews that say otherwise are kidding themselves), badly written, and has no merits of its own other than as a Christian propaganda piece. I do not even think that this film would be enjoyed by your average Christian, this is clearly made for mega-church going, Ken Hamm inspired, Jars of Clay listening, Ned Flanders style Christians who do not watch most films for fear that their faith may be compromised. If this describes you, then you may actually want to see this. However, the vast majority of movie watchers will find themselves shaking their heads at the inanity of this steaming pile of a film.
